I definitely still qualify as a beginner. Yesterday I got stung on the end of my nose through my veil. I was going to mention it on the anaphylactic thread to give it a bump but that's closed. I'm sitting here at 6:35 having just reassured myself that I'm not about to go into anaphylactic shock and die but my reaction to this sting is a doozy! My nose is so swollen that it's leaking fluid through the skin, my lower eyelids are almost meeting the upper, my upper lip is pouting in quite a provocative manner and my nasal passages are sufficiently blocked to prevent a decent night's sleep.
Anyway, apart from giving me something to do at this ungodly hour I thought I'd post a thank you to Hedgerow Pete for his excellent piece. You can find it in the sticky section and it's strangely reassuring. I can also recommend searching for bee sting reactions because it's calming to know others have suffered......
