Er... carry an epipen? That will at least help you if anaphylaxis (sp?) becomes an issue... I'm pretty sure most people aren't allergic to synthetic epinephrine at least...

I'm not that allergic but I am allergic enough that one bite on my hand has my whole arm swollen! I guess a bite in the wrong place could be bad.

I feel your pain. I lived in texas for 14 years; when I got there, a fire-ant bite on my finger would swell up the whole joint of that finger, but when I left, a fire-ant bite on the same finger would swell my arm up to the shoulder! I used to have to take precautionary Benadryl every time, to keep the level of response from growing. Fortunately there are better antihistamines available now.
