Well, my aunt and mom said it was one cause I stepped on the bee and crushed it (I think I was 5 or so) and then the bastard stung me. I used to have allergic reactions from stings, so that sucked a bit. Foot got all swollen, luckily I don't have that anymore.

But how did your Aunt and Mom know this for sure though? How were they able to know the difference between an African and European Honey Bee? Was there a reported nest around that area at the time perhaps?

I'm amazed your allergic reactions are gone now. Maybe there's a time you can grow out of it that's different in adulthood cause a co-worker of mine says his stings are deadlier each time. As in his body's defence to it weakens. That's what his doc said is normal. He carries around a syringe on his waste side if he should ever git stung again as his throat may swell and suffocate him.

With allergies some people go grow out of them (I was allergic to blackberries and I grew out of that). However with reapeated exposure the reactions can get much worse each type you are exposed..

What is this with all the questions? 60 Minutes? I can hardly remember really, was a long time ago. There was a little nest in a tree just above the ground and I remember stepping on something and stinging and then a big foot and had to take Benadryl. It was at my aunts place and my uncle was some sort of a hobby beekeeper, could be also an ordinary bee though, but I remember them mentioning a killer bee, have to ask my mom

Yeah, some people get into cardiac arrest from one bee sting by extreme allergic reactions. I had it until I was 12 or so, also with mosquito bites I would get really big red swellings and they would drive me mad from itching. And once had a huge allergic reaction from this plant called Heracleum. I was basically covered from head to toe with small red itchy pimples and felt awful. It's called phytophotodermatitis. And I remember that day it was so warm and I was in elementary school and they all went swimming and I stayed at home. By accident I ran into my class in our street and the teacher yelled something like: "stay away from him, he's contagious!" So that is where my childhood basically got f4cked up forever I grew over it I guess, last time I got an allergic reaction was from 3 bags of beef jerky and a sixpack of Miller 3 years ago in Washington state

lol just certain things pop in my head about something and they start driving me batty if I don't get an answer that satisfies me. Like if something someone tells me doesn't make sense you know. I need it to make sense.

Haha, no. Seriously, I had an allergic reaction to something that was in that particular kind of beef jerky. Miller is very light beer compared to what they sell here, gives you a slight buzz really. Probably 1 Miller would knock me out now though stopped drinking alc it just makes me soooo tired.

^Same here. I was having problems logging in, so I was inactive for a few days as a result. It's nice to be able to talk about movies again.

How did that ruin your life? Did no one ever play with you again? Did you get some kind of cruel nickname that has followed you ever since from it? Did the little redhead girl you had a crush on turn her nose up at you from that day forward thereby ending your chance of ever finding true love?

It didn't, I was joking. I ruined their lives after wards.

Course they did, I forced them to.

Nope, I usually was the one giving out the nicknames. I still do, makes me help remembering a person.

Well, actually it was the other way around. There was this ginger that had a crush on me.
