Please, please please carry an epipen, especially if you are by yourself. Benadryl WILL NOT SAVE YOUR LIFE or abort an anaphylactic reation if you have one!!!! And yes, I am a physician, and yes, I know this from experience as well as review of the literature on it.
I also just got stung by a wasp (although thankfully I am not allergic) a few days ago on my ride and it itches like nothing I have ever felt before.
