Taking any kind of rash action like slamming on the brakes is not a good idea. First of all, a crash is much worse than a sting. Even if you're allergic, being really cool and calm about it represents your best chance of getting out without being stung.
Controlled braking, just fast. As my old flight instructor used to say, fly the plane FIRST.
I'm not allergic, but probably oversensitive to getting stung.
