I guess I should consider myself lucky. I've had them fly into my helmet twice but didn't get stung either time. Maybe they were dazed or my Halo headband prevented a sting? Both times I stopped, removed my helmet and sure enough, it was a bee.

Anaphylaxis is when your body over-produces histamine which can dilate way too many of your blood vessels, dangerously drop your blood pressure, cause tissue swelling (including the lungs) and stress out weak hearts. Epinephirine restricts blood vessels and keeps all of the above from happening. Used improperly, or at the wrong time however, epinephrine can also be fatal.
