Kind of off topic, but my father went down to a property down there. He was outside doing yard work, and got stung by something. He immediately went allergic and collapsed. Luckily, he made it to hospital before things got really bad or dead.
What is suspicious is that my father is not allergic to ANYTHING or any bugs. He's in his 70's.
At the hospital, the doctor further said something is going on. 6 people have died in the past week from allergic bug bites. Did they release something nasty?
He's double vaxxed so I'm wondering if this is part it. He never had an allergic reaction to any bug bites and he's been working outside for years. WTF?
Thoughts? Experiences?
I was bit by a fire ant in 2021 after having previously never been allergic. Within 40 minutes my husband had me in the emergency room. Epinephrine shot along with IV steroids, Benadryl, breathing treatment did the trick. I was head to toe hives and my ear canals swelled shut even. I live in the panhandle so I am virtually a prisoner. I was a huge gardener and avid outdoors person. I can no longer even take a step in my yard without fear. I had COVID that knocked me down pretty furiously prior to this. I have never been vaxed. COVID hit me and my 3 young sons In the same week time span. To this day I feel like it did something to my immune system that lead to my fire ant allergy. I could be wrong. But it’s just a feeling. At the emergency room (this was 2021 so pretty early on in the COVID scheme) the nurse making sure I didn’t go into anaphylactic shock went off on how the same thing just happened to her with fire ants and she added that it was after she got vaccinated. At the time I felt like I was dying so I didn’t really engage but looking back it makes me wonder why she linked the two. Again, I am not vaccinated but had a bad case of COVID.
Friend with wild-type Covid infection (no vax induced, not vaxxed at all) and had a cancer recurrence 8.5 years later (2 years after infection). She’s convinced the wild-type infection damaged her immune system so much that the cancer came back.
Fire ants don't bother me near as much now as they did first time.
