My cycling bee story is that about 6 years ago I was finishing a ride and a stinging insect (a yellow jacket wasp, but close enough to a bee) flew under my jersey and stung me a few times. This happens every few years, but this time I had a full body reaction. Ten minutes after the sting, my lips and tongue started to tingle, my entire body broke out in raised welts, and I had a feeling of impending doom. I got mrs datlas to take me to the ER and I got a shot of epinephrine which made me feel like my head was about to pop off, but did make the allergic reaction go away.

Anaphylaxis is not fun.
