Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Janet,
I havn't had any bee stings in over 30 years. But, I have had my
first three wasp stings in the past three years. All of these times I
got stung for no apparent reason. One wasp was a red wasp and the
swelling was intense. The other two were black wasps and were
annoying for a day. Wasps like to hang out under shelters, big and
small. You should ask your doctor what you need to do. Above all, be
aware of your surroundings and look before you step or put your hands
anywhere. A year ago I know a woman that was standing on the curb and
a honey bee decided to fly up her pant leg!
