I have been watching beekeeping videos, and came across one where a beekeeper states that people who come into contact with bee proteins, but don't get stung regularly, are likely to suffer a severe allergy to the sting. He states his daughter had a severe reaction, and when he saw her allergist, they told him that in the general population, 1 out of 200 people will be severely allergic, but in commercial bee families that number is 1 in 10!! He recommends being stung at least once every month. He blames her allergy to the fact that he used to pick her up from daycare in his beekeeping clothes, where she came into contact with bee protein.
Is he talking twaddle or does he have a case?
