Nobody is average! At the beginning of most seasons I take 2 days swelling
up and 2 more days deflating. Late in the season I wonder whether I was
sting or just caught my finger on a splinter. On very rare occasions I get
Hives - all over reaction, itching, sweating, slight palpitations. This
season - so far- my reactions have been slighter than usual, possibly because
I collected one or two stings during the winter.
