I will add that the same reaction to bee stings happened to my Dad later in his life, and having the kit in the house was no big deal. Good luck in finding a Dr who will only want to deal with the presented issue. Dr's pretty much want to do a full exam when you go in as a new patient, so as to protect themselves from lawsuits.
