A couple years ago I developed a serious allergy to bee stings, serious enough I would have died without medical attention. I now have to carry an epi-pen everywhere and if I get stung it's an injection and trip to ER asap. I've thought about getting a hognose but the talk of a bite being no more serious than a bee sting concerns me. I also read somewhere the toxin in the "venom" is virtually the same as a bee. This would basically for me anyway turn a harmless hognose into a full blown "hot" if that was true. Anyone have any better insight to this?
