PS - not a doctor!
I did the same with a can of pop, little bugger stung me on the tonsil, the entire side of my head hurt for hours. I , to this day, only drink outside from something I can see into.I took a swig of beer in a bottle - momentary lapse in concentration. The wasp sting on my upper lip brought back focus very rapidly. Swollen and throbbed for days. Give me a bee sting any day.
First exposure preps the immune system ( like a vaccine if you like) the system can over react which is why you can get an allergic response that become anaphylactic if severe.
Apologies to any doctors here
Not often if I recall. I don’t think I ever diagnosed it. Perhaps @Wilco can shed some light.No need to apologise - your patients presumably suffer anaphylaxis too?
In med school we occasionally shared lectures with the vets, but I can't remember which lectures. Maybe embryology, physiology, histology, pharmacology, immunology? At other times the vets went their own way, doubtless studying the wonders of the ruminant stomach......Not often if I recall. I don’t think I ever diagnosed it. Perhaps @Wilco can shed some light.

Yeah, done that before! I took a gulp of it, felt it in my mouth and spat it out. Luckily didn’t get stungOpen can of Coke . Wasp . Ouch.
Anaphylaxis does occur but generally it's uncommon to pick it up fast enough to save the animal.Not often if I recall. I don’t think I ever diagnosed it. Perhaps @Wilco can shed some light.
