Well, that fear was nearly realized last night in my dream.
I was on campus, and got stung. I immediately sat down and tried to slow my breathing and determine if I was having an allergic reaction. Well, it took a few minutes but eventually I DID feel my airway closing up! So I started panicking. I had 911 dialed, but I couldn't speak! (poor planning, dream Melissa)
Luckily, a nursing student found me and administered an epi-pen ("swing and jab" - that's what we learned in pharmacy tech school). After I calmed down a bit, they took me to the medical center on campus, and gave me some post-incident instructions.
"You can't eat corn or use lotion for 12 months"
Whaa??? I never got an explanation for the corn, but the lotion, I was told, would "seep out of the puncture hole."
What a bummer. I love corn AND lotion!
