Default Bee sting allergy

The trouble with bee sting allergies is that they develop and get worse
with repeated contact.


not necessarily. In fact some people think that the reaction lessens by
repeatd stings. I don't think that's necessarily true either.

Some keepers have had to give up because a family member had the allergy
and it got worse due to him taking his venom-laden bee suit into the
house.


That's probably more to do with the propolis on the suit rather than venom.
