Sponsor eaquarist Posted February 27, 2004 Sponsor Share Posted February 27, 2004 actually it really depends on individual .. I have a friend who have been stung by bees many (seperate) times. Still healthy and leaving. we won't know unless we try.. (Disclaimer: I am in no way responsible for any mishap caused.. ) You are one brave guy, was that you or your friend on the Fear Factor challenge with the bees.., haha Well, yes the hyperallegic reaction depends on the individual, which is why quick response and CPR can help save lives...getting too far off now.. Anyway, I thought it was good to inform all hobbyists not to take things for granted...with the bird flu and all, who knows the comparatively "safest" hobby could actually be fish keeping.

Igloo Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Well, at least you still remember some facts about immunology....heh heh...who's your Bio teacher? Hyperallergic reaction in cases of active natural immunity where memory cells develop to produce long lasting immunity but an over-production of antibodies on a second exposure. People have died from a second bee sting before too. For all fish lovers, I think with care and precaution,the possibility of Mycobacterium infection is still rare but with cut skin or open wounds, things can get painful. This was discuseed in a recent issue of FAMA too. For more info, see attached http://www.medicinenet.com/mycobacterium_marinum/article.htm No bio teacher.. sigh.. learn on own.. Then again.. better to be safe and sorry.. I recently had wounds on my knuckles.. and i brushed by a frogspawn.. Hurts like mad, i was holding onto something and i cldnt let go.. din know that there will be such a strong reaction.. anybody w similar experience?
