One of my DCBs was stung by 20-25 wasps recently (at home, not here) and for a day or two after he came back, he had regular Benedryl. I have it here because the doc wants him to have an immediate dose for the remainder of the year if he is stung by even one insect.

I also have a little girl that will occasionally, for some unknown (yet) reason, suddenly develop hives. We keep some here to dose her immediately if needed. We have used it once in the last year.
I guess my edit didn't go thru! I edited to say that I didn't mean it directed at any of you, just in general. I understand having it on hand for stings and such, when my oldest ds was 1 ped said to have it on hand for when we gave him peanut butter(just in case even tho no other foods had a reaction) but, things I guess have changed in 5 years.
