thank you BleeckerSt_Girl! this is what i wanted. since the bee in my ear incident i have kept my ears well covered.

i may change from sunglasses to wrap around goggles. have any links to what you are talking about?

i react a lot worse than it sounds like you do. if i take the maximum dose of benadryl right away and then take more when it wears off that is the level of reaction i get. otherwise i have a lot of swelling sometimes hives in the general area and it can last 2 or more weeks. not a sever deadly allergy but a worse than normal reaction to a bee sting i think. the problem with benadryl is it wipes me out. i would never be able to ride a bike on the stuff and i can hardly keep my eyes open so if i am stung while i am alone with my son i am afraid to take it i am just not certain i could stay awake and keep him safe.
