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.
