Allergic reaction to Kickers 80 hour spray - Allergies Message Board

I have had asthma all my life and in the past 5 years I have becoming more and more allergic to different things. I had recently used kickers 80 hour energy spray and for the first two does I was fine, nothing happened except I was full of energy. The next day I took another dose and 5 minutes later, the back on my neck was burning, like felt on fire and then my body got all hot and I felt like 20 million bugs biting me and couln't stop the itching, I took some bendryl and help calm the itching down. I'm not taking no more of that crap but concerned that whatever is in that spray is really bad for me and says you should not take if you had bad reaction to bees, I had not ever had a bad reaction before, couldn't it be something else?

How many times have you been stung?? I have three kids who are deadly allergic to bees and we did not know it until about the 5th time. I also know that you have to have something a few times before your body will show it's true allergy. Obviously you should not test fate and try it again. Thanks for telling me that-I would never think that there was something out there my kids should not take, because of a bee allergy. That spray doesn't sound safe-really scary!

well I had worked in nurseries many years ago and I have maybe had 20 stings my entire life, but a few years ago, I found a nest of killer honeybees in the woods that stug me about 3 at a time and was chasing me out of the woods and I did swell up alittle more than normal.

But I have been taking the super b complex pills and the ginsing , royal jelly, and womans vitamin and nothing in there that makes me sick.

isn't there some kind of home test for bee allergies?

thanks

If you were truly allergic to bee stings it would do more than "swell up a little more than normal!" I've only been stung twice - the first one made a knot about 3 inches across. The second time, my whole arm fromt my knuckles to my elbow were swollen and the skin on the arm flaked off from the heat of the fever.

They may have changed the propellant in the product or it may have been contaminated.

Well I really don't think it could be the propellant, which I doubt it even has any type of propellant since is a pump type spray and you have to prime the pump about 5 times to get it to work and it was all the same bottle as I used the day before. And don't think there is any chance it could have been contaminated since it was brand new bottle and I only used it the day before and then put cap back on bottle and put ito my dresser.

And sorry to hear about your allergies, but I don't think everyone has the same allergies and same reactions. and this was something that was realsed into my bloodstream about 30 seconds and was not localized to one place. And the times I did get stung was way before now and if you would have read my post, you would have seen the prior was just a reference on how many times I have gotten stung in my past and not about now.
