>>From: DNBrown Like Peter Borst I am also peanut allergic, and recently became allergic to bees (after many stings, suddenly one "got" me with a big systemic reaction).<< Since the beginnig o this Epipen discussion, I have been trying to recall in which of my books I read something like the following: "...allergic reactions to bee venom can also occur in individuals that were exposed to bee stinging (like beekeepers)for a certain period of time and then interrupt the stimulus. When they get stung again they are more prone to an overreaction of their immunological system." I will continue to research my library and when I do find the book report its name.
