Yeah the honey stingers look good, but are kind of expensive. Hmm...I could either buy two cartons of honey stingers....or I could buy another merino base layer!

Darcy- I used Burt's lip balm for YEARS every day, I just loved it. Then one day I put it on and suddenly out of the blue it felt all burning and my lips got all red and swollen and it was horrible! I looked awful- the red swelling even extended around beyond the edge of my lips! I stopped using it for several days and it took like 3 days for my lips to feel and look normal again. Then I put just a bit on to see if it was really the Burt's doing it, and BOOM! lips immediately swelled up all red and burning again! I then did some internet research and found a couple other women who had used it for years and then suddenly became allergic to it with the exact same symptoms. I think it's the peppermint essential oil or another essential oil in it, nothing to do with bee-ish ingredients. After that I have only used lip balms without essential oils and I seem to be fine. The only other time I've had an allergic reaction to anything was last summer to some PABA sunscreen- gave me BOILS all over my neck and back! Had to switch to sunscreen with only titanium oxide as the active ingredient, and all natural types.
