Diabetes might also be a possibility for getting stung!

How so? PKU or phenylketonuria is characterized by 'mousey' or 'cat pee' smelling sweat.

50% of type II diabetics go undiagnosed.

How do they know?

How do they know?

Post mortem or perhaps blindness, amputation, kidney failure and stroke?

Hi All,
I'm a type 2 diabetic, the bees are the reason I was diagnosed swirling around my veil .

Well well well. Or a ketogenic diet such as Atmins.

Telling your Dr that bees are all over your veil isn't something I would ever think to mention! Did you have other symptoms that alerted you.

Skin tags. Floaters. Visual acuity. Thirst. Peeing lots. Cold extremities. Spots. Persistent skin infections. Thrush. UTIs. Mood swings etc.

You wouldn't happen to be on an Atkins diet by any chance, would you? People who are on high protein diet often smell like pear drops, and the sence of smell is subjective. Different people smell things in different ways.

You know, this is a fascinating line of why well-behaved bees might suddenly act "off" even in good conditions. I regard unbalanced diets like Atkins as insane, but I run lean and if I skip a meal, sometimes catch the ketones on my own sense of smell. So a good bowl of oats a couple of hours before inspection would solve that one.

It read to me as self-deprecating humour, so it's hardly fair to suddenly turn on the guy / gal.

Maybe that is the mood swing coming In to play?
