Am I still allergic to bees... When i was 4 i was stung by a bee and went to to immediate Anaphylactic shock. What is the likelihood I am still allergic to bees at age 26?
It is difficult to give a categorical answer to this.
With certain food Allergies, such as egg, there are recorded cases of responses improving with age, but this is not universal.
I can find no direct information with respect to hypersensitivity to bee venom so I would suggest you err on the side of safety.
If you are in a situation where you could be stung by bees, I suggest if you have not got one already, see your medical practitioner and ask for an epipen for use if you are stung. Use of this at the onset of symptoms would alleviate the worst effects.
