Wasp Stings

Of people who have had a generalised allergic reaction to a bee sting about one-third react positively to a subsequent skin test.1 On being stung again, 40% of these have no systemic reaction, but 13% have a worse reaction.2 Anaphylactic reactions to bee or wasp stings can be fatal, but this is rare (about 15 deaths a year in the USA).3

Adequacy Condition

This chapter examines what it calls “social justicitis”—a strongly negative, even allergic, reaction to the ideal of social or distributive justice. Social justicitis is a malady from which many defenders of private economic liberty suffer. For libertarians, arguments on behalf of social justice may be as threatening as a bee sting is to some people. In the case of classical liberals, social justicitis arises as an adverse reaction to talk about social justice at the level of public policy. The chapter first considers the notion of distributional adequacy condition from the perspective of classical liberalism and libertarianism before discussing the arguments of classical liberals and libertarians regarding property and the poor. It also explores F. A. Hayek's critique of social justice and the implications of his theory of spontaneous order with respect to distributional ideals.

Here we report the cases of five patients with a late onset of acute urticaria after a bee sting. The ages of the five Japanese patients ranged from 33 to 86 years (median: 61). All patients had no history of an allergic reaction to bee stings. The onset of urticaria was 6–14 days (median: 10) after a bee sting. Although four of the patients did not describe experiencing a bee sting at their presentation, the subsequent examination detected anti-bee-specific IgE antibodies. So, we think a history of a bee sting should thus be part of the medical interview sheet for patients with acute urticaria, and an examination of IgE for bees may help prevent a severe bee-related anaphylactic reaction in the future.

In this case report, successful use of omalizumab in the treatment of chronic urticarial and angioedema in a 24-year-old female patient with an allergic reaction history to almost every drug including steroids and antihistamines was presented. She also had allergy against a large number of foods, which were confirmed by oral provocation, specific Immunoglobulin E and allergy skin test.
