I have never been bitten by an insect that would normally do damage like a be or wasp. The worst that I have had is a mosquito. So I do not know how allergic I am. Have you ever had an extreme reaction to an insect bite? http://www.everydayhealth.com/publicsite/index.aspx?puid=45150b8b-3c95-4e1b-a867-bafe70e656f9&xid=nl_EverydayHealthAsthmaandAllergies_20080627

my daughter gets a reaction from a "flying ant". We still dont know what it really is but thats what it looks like. She starts to hyperventilate and requires 200mg of benadryl to counteract the sting. This also happens with bee stings.

Hi Rozie I have never bitten by insects like wasp or bee. Mosquitos are very common and I get mosquito bite every day and not allergic to that.

Every day?? That is pretty rough. Good to know you are not allergic.
