This is what happens when a four year old tough guy tells you it was a cactus spine, not a Bee Sting. Worse, it must have been a mild one, because he didnt exhibit any swelling at the sting site until after bed. So this is what it looks like when you start the Benadryl 8-10 hours late.

Obviously, this little tough guy has a Mild Allergic reaction to bee Stings, yeah. And yet he won’t leave them alone. I have seen him catch and play with them, much to my dismay.

Anyhow, it rarely gets this bad, swelling just at wound site, not going up his wrist, like this time. that is because generally we know pretty much right away, and start the Benadryl accordingly. This time though, it took a full four days for the swelliong to be fully down and back to normal.

The blistering isn’t even at the wound site. The wound site was on the palm of his hand. Though the swelling caused some itching and tightness that night from finding the symptoms, he was fine and had full mobility the next morning. It just took a few days for the swelling to go completely to normal.

So yeah, this is what we have to contend with with Milo, just from the Bee’s! Add in all the rest of Arizona’s poisonous creepy crawlies, and we have our hands full!
