hi the good old yellow jacket and for some of us just wasps ok what will happen each time we get stung by them the reaction we get gets worst sop yes it would be best to carry something that helps cut down the reaction to the pain. but you should be were epinephrine auto-injectors such as epipen and epipen jr. may be kept on hand for self-injection by a person with a history of an severe allergic reaction you did have 7 bites i have had some multi bites and yes they do hurt but anti-histamine should help along with bite cream. if you read up about epinephrine it states that you need to near a hospital or medical centre after you inject yourself so could be a good idea or a bad one. do hope this helps you. good luck
yellow jackets stung hand 7x at once. had pain swelling no anaphlactic reaction. carry an epipen from now on? . was picking blueberries and didn't see their hive. over next few hours pain got progressively worse up to elbow; low fever too. took benadryl tylenol applied vinegar rinse epson soak baking powder paste over next 6 hrs. . will i now get anaphylactic allergic reaction if ever stung by anything again? should i carry epipen? . hey good news is that arthritic thumb hasn't hurt on that hand for 3weeks!
