Well, it got worse. I finally decided to go to Mizzou Quick Care about 2 pm today. The sting did not hurt, but was incredibly itchy. The Nurse Practitioner measured the redness and it was 17 centimeters long by 11 centimeters wide. She prescribed one of the strongest topical steroids available and also suggested an allergy medicine like Allegra. After the first application, the redness started to recede, but it is going to be a few days before it is really better. It appears that I, like my Mom, am allergic to hornet, wasp, and bee stings. Since I have only ever been stung twice in my life, I have not yet encountered breathing problems. Let’s hope that I never get stung again and I never have to deal with this again!
