    Hypersensitivity and Bee Stings

    This type of systemic reaction is treated with Epinephrine, which is adrenaline, and sometimes Benadryl, which is an antihistamine, and used for allergies of all kinds. If the person knows they are allergic to bee stings, they should carry an EPI-Pen with them at all times. This is a single dose injection of Epinephrine which should be administered in the muscle on the front of the thigh. The draw-back of this type of EPI-pen is it is only a single dose and most often times another dose of epinephrine is needed to counteract the bee venom. Medical treatment MUST be sought even after administering the EPI-pen.…

    Penicillin Skin Test

    I, myself, have not experienced any adverse reactions, allergic reactions, or any drug-drug reactions. But I do have a couple of friends in nursing school who have experienced reactions during their clinicals and they sometimes talk about stories in the hospital. In one case, a patient at a hospital in Fort Wayne had an allergic reaction to penicillin. The registered nurse my friend was with asked the patient if she was allergic to anything and she replied yes. But, she had no idea what the name of that drug was. In this case, the nurse could have done a penicillin skin test, which I was told is pretty simple. All you have to do is give a tiny bit on the skin's surface and if you're allergic, a little itchy red bump will appear on that little…
