Yesterday while playing golf I was stung twice by some sort of black flying insect ( I suspect wasp). It hurt but no biggie, I’ve been stung by wasps and hornets before. However, on the next hole (16) I was having itchy, tingling feet, itchy hands, butt hole, etc. At hole 18 the guy I was riding with dropped me off at my house and I actually fell over onto the ground (don’t think I really passed out). He helped me to my back sliding door and my wife threw a towel on the couch for me to sit on (I was sweating profusely which isn’t unusual around here this time of year). After half an hour or so I got up to take a shower. My wife had given me two benedrills but my feet were bright red, blotchy red spots all over my body especially around my waste band. This morning blotchiness has dissipated somewhat but hands still itch. By coincidence, I have an appointment with an ENT dr today and he also is an allergist…so I’m going to run it by him. One of the guys I was playing golf with is a Dr and he called to check on me and said I should ask the ENT guy to prescribe an Epi-pen in case I get stung again. Getting old is not for sissies!
