in the past two weeks I have been stung by a hornet and a yellow jacket. The hornet stung my arm that has my lymphedema. I cleaned it out well and never had a bit of problem with it even though it was on my lymphedema arm. A few days ago I put my barefoot down in my boots and sure enough there was a yellow jacket in my boots and he stung me On the ankle on the opposite side of my lymphedema. Two days later I develop 103 fever and my blood pressure shoots up to 188/104! I’m now in the hospital on IV antibiotics but I just wanted to warn everybody now that fall is coming the stinging hornets and yellow jackets are looking for warm places to hide so make sure you check your boots, gloves, etc. katiejan
