How many bees have to sting you before you die?
Death from bee stings results from anaphylactic shock. Because bee stings cause an immune response, just one bee sting can kill some people. The immune response can be triggered on the first sting, on the second, third, fourth sting or more, depending on the person. Aperson can get stung with no response, but at a later time, even years later, react severely to being stung.

Why do Muslims not look at other people while praying?
There are three types of Islamic prayer: salat, the formal fives-times-per-day prayer; dua, supplications similar to those offered by people of other faiths; and thikr, phrases of praise, repentence, and supplication from the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah (hadith.) During salat, worshippers ideally direct their eyes at a spot on the floor in front of them. This is done to facilitate concentration and so that the worshipper will not be directing his/her prayer towards another person, nor towards any created object.

How many times you will take penicillin in one day cause you have skin rashes?
You should not take penicillin for skin rashes. No antibiotic should be taken without the advice of the doctor. When your doctor prescribe you penicillin, he will invariably advice the dose and frequency also.
Even a single dose of penicillin can give you allergic rash. When you are allergic to penicillin, you must mention the same thing, every time you visit the doctor. Repeat the same thing whenever he will prepare the injection for you or write down the prescription. Do not worry, even if that may irritate him.
Is it true that albumin is used as a carrier in the flu vaccine?
Not exactly, but it does have a role in production of flu vaccines. The viruses that are used to make a flu vaccine are grown in a laboratory in a growth medium that is made from chicken egg protein (including albumin from the egg whites). Once the viruses are fully developed and extracted to use in making the vaccines, there are only negligible amounts of minute traces of the egg protein that are not fully extracted by the purification processes of manufacturing.
For this reason, people who are allergic to chicken or chicken eggs are advised to wait after a flu vaccination to be monitored for any potential allergic responses. These are very rare and, with treatment as soon as the first signs of allergic reaction are evident, often today anaphylactic reactions can be prevented. See the related question in the related question section for more detail about egg allergies and flu vaccinations.

When you have allergies should you go camping?
It really depends on your type of Allergies. I have hay fever which can become pretty bad at certain times in the year. However, I do still go camping and avoid my "Allergy Peak Time" which is around June for me. If I do go traveling or camping around that time I generally avoid areas that are very green. In addition I use antihistamine which helps lessen the intensity of my runny nose and itchy/runny eyes.
