[QUOTE="ken2m, post: 315505, member: 7269"] Another insect to watch out for is the "jack jumper ant" many of the population dont even know they have an allergy to them. Tasmania has a massive problem with them and have testing in place to find the people that require epipens. Other states have less accessable testing from my experience a few years ago. My last sting was in 1978 in March. I knew I had difficulty breathing and wheezing like crazy. I just got sufficent addreniline pumping by getting really hyped up and the symptoms faded over the next 15 minutes. After that I tried to get testing done but testing was not done at that time anywhere. The one consolation is the effect of the ant sting is the effect reduces with each sting. Ken. [/QUOTE]
