Sudafed won’t help with an allergic reaction.

That’s simply a decongestant.

You need Benadryl.

A friend whose son is SEVERELY, life threateningly allergic to the slightest trace of nuts, told me that she carried a bottle of the children’s liquid cause that’s what got into your system the fastest.

Aside from carrying multiple Epi-Pens.

Yep I remembered wrong.

BTW -I took up bee keeping 3 years ago. Have been stung over 25 times and everything seems ok. I do have a sting kit for visitors and it has the childs liquid Benadryl, Unkers and Gold Bond with Lidocain for when it starts to really itching. The ER is only 3 blocks away and all the new folks that want to play with them has to have a buddy (usually me).

I tried getting an epinefrin set up with the vial and injection needle when I started out. The laws just changed on the epi-pen craziness and the only place you can find that kit now is on crash carts for heart attacks. Every other consumer use will be via the auto-pen and Im just not going to pay that kind of money every 9 months it expires as a preventative for someone else that thinks they are allergic to MY honeybees when they just got stung 6 or 8 times by a yellow-jacket.
