. June, 2017, my right hand. If you think the hand look bad, you should have seen my foot, same day. I had to walk with crutches.
History: received stings from numerous bees, wasp, and 4 scorpions, 1 jelly fish, 2-3 asp, 1 caterpillar starting 1960. Little to no reaction: mild redness, slight pain and in 45 minutes the sting site looked and felt normal. Then 57 years later and whammy: insane reaction out of the blue, massive swelling, non stop itch, painful with redness lasted days.
Next year 2018, bee stings have little to no reaction. Same in 2019, received a sting on finger tip, 45 minutes later and all is normal. Also received a sting on my ankle a couple of weeks ago and again in 45 minutes, all normal, can?t even tell which foot I was stung I on.
So what happened in 2017??? I have no answer. According to the books I studied on immunology what I experienced was impossible so to speak. The book teach: I was supposed to react more violently with each sting after my reactions in 2017.
I should add the jelly fish was so much pain I almost went into shock, but healed good.
