I can't even feel the stings typically. 1st stings of the season may swell the next day, but then I am so immune the rest of the season I can clench them in my hand and feel nothing, swelling is zero. Is there any research interest in this?

wow that's very rare 'cause usually the more you get stung, you start to become allergic, that's what i've been told 'cause I'm allergic

I have never been allergic to them either. I used to get stung often due to working outdoors for years and had little to no reaction. But be very careful. I had a co-worked who had the same minimal reaction as I did. One day he got stung and immediately went into anaphylactic shock. He swelled up and could no longer breath. He had to be rushed to the hospital. He got stung on his ankle directly in an artery feeding back to his heart...DOH!!! Fortunately his customer was outside when it happened and was quick to get him help other wise he would have died. So, it's not how many times you get stung, it's where you get stung.
