There have been a number of threads concerning bee stings and immunity recently.
There are articles and discussion online about NSAID painkillers/anti-inflammatories, especially the stronger ones, affecting immunity. Apparently beta blockers can also affect the reaction to stings.
My previously good immunity has certainly been destroyed by taking prescription Diclofenac tablets to treat arthritis, and I am now back to a normal reaction to stings.
Many older folks here will be taking these types of medication. I am interested to hear the experience of other Bee-Botherers, and whether they think that their reaction to stings has been affected.
