I'm curious if anyone knows if being allergic to Bee venom automatically makes one allergic to snake venoms. Over the summer when I was stung by a bee the majority of my forearm around the sting swelled (which has never happened before with a sting). I'm assuming my body is telling me that bee stings will be dealt with most harshly from now on and I should be careful. The problem is that I'm considering getting a Boiga Dendrophilia or FWC which I would otherwise be unconcerned with the venom of but due to this latest bee incident may actually prove life threatening... Any thoughts on this.

Others may disagree, & they may well be right. That said, bee & wasp venoms are much more toxic & vastly different from snake venoms. I do not think that there would necessarily be a cross-over.

It's hard to say; the place to find out is www.venomdoc.com
The site is about this guy (name on tip of tongue) who's a rather well known venom toxicologist. He studies all types of venom from snakes, to insects and sea life.
