Allergic to bees + AS use?

[whitetail]

I will be on a test only cycle(1st) probably mid april to mid july and i work outside. Im not severely allergic, it took about 5 yellow jacket stings right to the neck and head to get me to have a pretty bad reaction. Just wondering is there is any interaction problem between being "on" and having to take a epinephrine shot because of a allergic reaction to bee stings? You only take the shot if its really bad and you cant make it to the hospital, and say i do get stung and they have to give me a benadryl and adrenaline shot I would like to avoid telling them im on juice. Thanks

just because you have a reaction to bee stings doesn't mean you'll have a reaction to the sauce. the reaction is caused by something in the bee venom.

and being on won't have any effect when you get stung. you'll still react the same... and like you said - you have an epi pen on you in case it gets really bad.

i'm not talking out of my ass, i'm in the medical field. :p

are you a male nurse dick?????

[StealYourFace79]

you're not busting on male nurses are you? :2gunsfiri anyhow, the epi pen gives an injection of epinephrin (like adrenaline) which inhibits the histamine (allergic response that closes your wind pipe) benadryl will help, but it works after 45 minutes in your system, and you can only survive without oxygen for a couple of minutes at best. keep the pen close, and your mouth closed. you'll be fine.....like renegade says....

thats cool bros - great to have you at FG

[StealYourFace79]

"alternative lifestyle" is subjective. we are however a couple of wild fu@#ing nuts. although i will own up to being a male nurse..... thankx for the welcome, i'm enjoying the board. really like the info on NO2.....well researched and written.

thanks bros, im not worried about being allergic to AS. Basically if i have to get a adrenaline shot at the hospital, or give my self a epinephrine shot, i just wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna die.
