if there is a history of bee sting allergy (life threatening, not just a itchy swelling) in the family i dont see the problem with that !
why are kids vaccinated ??? because there are common diseases that can kill them or leave them a vegetable !
young women have a double mastectomy because breast cancer runs in the family.

Don't forget to point out that statistically speaking it's less than 0.0005% chance of contracting that - and in each of the cases a direct contact to a snail has been made.

The only point I was pushing is that the way the media portrayed the story was typical of the tabloid type sensationalism that is the media in this country.

During the 22 years from 1960 to 1981, 25 individuals have been recorded by the Australian Bureau of Statistics as having died shortly after a bee sting. This gives a mortality incidence of
0.086/1 000 000 population per year

When are they going to run a scare story on bees?

I think you take it as a personal attack on you. A shame really, because I never once said Bel!

You didnt have to, you have responded to almost all of my posts, with the same crap, & yes, in many of your posts, you were talking to/responding to me. If it makes you feel better now to deny it though, thats fine, you do what you have to!

As for the 'only point' you tried to make.......i agreed with you.......i didnt take the story as a 'quick kids get indoors NOW' warning, i simply just took notice. I have continued to be put in the paranoid & obsessive group though, simply for taking note of something!
