I know this sounds weird but I was stung by a bee or wasp or hornet (I brushed the bug with my hand so I know it was beelike) and a couple days later I developed a bullseye rash at the sting site.

I have never had a bulls eye rash before, even though I have been ill for over twenty years. Two weeks have passed since I got the bee sting and the rash has not completely faded.

Has this happened to anybody else?

Make sure you take a picture. You can use it to get treatment and a diagnosis. No one needs to know it was a bee sting. [Smile]

I got bit by an asp. Not the snake the wasp kind. I had a large red area with streaks going up my neck. I'm highly allergic to all those flying little critters
