My EM started in my feet and a few years ago spread to my hands with mild symptoms.

I got stung by a wasp in the hand. I felt the pressure like when the doc gives you the pokie test, but I felt no pain. I can see the hole where the stinger went in, mild swelling, mild redness, but no pain. I just think that's interesting. Any other encounters out there?

Not me ! That's for sure. I have a crazy fear of all bees and wasps. avoid them like the plague! I wont even let my husband plant any flowers near our house so we don't attract any. I have even fractured my ankle running away from one once! It is strange it didn't hurt at all.

Sorry I can't be of any help :)

Take care,

Alina
