or would they notice problems straight away, and is it the same for animals, if they are allergic to insect stings or bites, is the allergic reaction immediate or delayed.

I am allergic to bee stings. I haven't been stung in years but it seemed to me that the effects took just a few minutes. The pain of course was immediate but the swelling and intense itching took just a little while. Honey bees sting once but wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets can nail you over and over.
Anyway, different people react differently. Some aren't bothered while others die. Call a dermatologist and make an appointment to go in and get tested for allergies. Find out what you are allergic to and then get treated. It could save your life.
As far as animals are concerned you will have to call a vet. But bears seem to be immune to it as they are always tearing apart bee hives.

Everyone is slightly allergic to bee stings. The itching and swelling is an allergic reaction. If you are talking about a severe reaction that is life training usually develops in no more than a minute and is nearly immediate. A typical severe reaction includes severe swelling, pain, difficulty breathing, and increased vital signs. If you know you are severely allergic to bee stings you should ask a doctor about a bee sting kit which comes with a shot of adrenaline to prevent the person from going into shock.

Havent heard of animals with allergies to bee/wasp stings, but i know quite a few people who are allergic to bee stings, and it can be fatal in minutes, yet with others it can be a while. Depends on the person and the strength of the allergy.

It would take a few minutes for a full-blown reaction, but that can lead to Anaphylactic shock, which can be fatal, however, if this is the case the person would most likely be carrying an Epipen (adrenaline injection).

In general it is immediate and this type of reaction can be life threatening to some people. I don't think animals have the same reaction.
