It's because your body is becoming sensitive to the venom. You are developing an allergy to these bites and you need to pay serious attention to bees, wasps, etc. now. Go to a doctor and ask about allergy treatments.
The next time you get bitten or stung you could go into an allergy shock and become seriously ill or even die. If you don't want to go to the doctor, at the very least, keep some kind of antihistamine medication like Benedryl (sp?) on hand AT ALL TIMES so you can take one if you find that you can't breath after a sting.
I'm serious! You need to protect yourself.

I would agree with the first answer. My wife was stung a month ago. And had a slight reaction. Two weeks ago I had to rush her to the hospitol when she got stung again. Doc said the first time she was stung her body didn't like it. The second time it responded.
You need to see a doctor and get a perscription to have an injection ready to go if you get stung again!!!!
We have had two deaths here in Fairbanks this summer due to bee stings. Get the injection and carry with you all the time!!!

Long and short of it, your body is now a toxic accident waiting to happen. Histamines will be released at an overwhelming amount. You could die if stung again.

you could be VERY allergic to a bee sting...doesn't sound like you were very allergic to the snake..but you need to see a doctor and see if there is an emergency medicine that he can give you in case it happens again because if you don't do something quick...a bee sting can take your life

You probably experienced something called Anaphylactic Shock, which is a severe allergic reaction.
