I think considering how a person reacts to stingy-things is probably a reasonable gauge for estimating possible reaction to hoggie venom.

Thankfully I have plenty of benedryl and allergy meds on hand! I also have a several allergies, only two being dangerous which are food related. Not sure if the egg and shellfish allergies may be an indication of how I'd react to a hoggie bite, but I'm assuming they are totally separate things. I seem to recall my reaction to bee stings being very mild and just annoying, so I'm hoping that's a good sign lol
