Thought this knowledge might come in handy in emergency. Many Lyme patients experience
sudden unexplained allergies, this could save someone who did not know previously they were susceptible.

Thanks for that tip. My husband got two hives this year and he has been stung twice. I will be sure to have onions on hand and try to find onion juice.

I had a bad allergic reaction to a wasp sting before I found Lyme. Stepped on one and swelled so fast and bad I could not walk.
Ran to Pharmacy and daughter 12 yrs. old went in to get benedryl for breathing difficulty. I wish I had known then what I know now...
The venoms are not the same, but may help in emergency.
