  Excuse if form is bad; I'm new to this.
I was happy to see this comment.  I took a sting on the back of
the hand last summer which resulted in a systemic reaction.  It
was probably not life threatening (except my throat started
closing).  The main danger was my wife's driving as she took me
off the mountain to see a doctor.  Anyway, I now wear gloves
and prefer not to feel guilty or unmacho.
