Wasp nests - best time to remove?
In article ,
Steve Newport wrote: As for allergies, dont be so sure its rare. Allergic reactions to bee stings and the resultant cases of anaphalactic (spelling?) shock are growing rapidly, and I would assume the same is true of wasl stings. The venom is different, but the trigger for the reaction, mast cell degranulating enzyme that causes a chain reaction in allergic people, is the same - its what causes the swelling. It is supposed to be true however, that people allergic tyo bee stings are not allergic to wasp stings - but just try and find one thats willing to take the risk! That is not so. If your first statement were true, your second would necessarily be false! It is, indeed, true that allergy to bee stings is much more common than allergy to wasp stings - despite many more people being stung by wasps in the UK, many fewer people die.
