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.
Yep it's part of both of my own kids insect sting protocol. They get a dose of Benadryl, epi shot and good dose of Zyrtec four hours later and every 12 hours and also benedryl if absolutely necessary after that. They have so much of a reaction even steroids are part of their sting protocol. Scary stuff !! Especially with the boy.
