Like I said, it's perfectly okay to have your coffee Barry, just get a good amount of water in your system for a couple of days after that many stings.
"I woke sweating, feeling sick, cold chills, then felt very hot etc... Finally threw up about a half hour later... I was thinking at the time that what was happening was not a good thing, but I never swelled much or had difficulty breathing, just the nausea and the ONE episode of vomiting..."
Mkay.... believe it or not, in bee venom therapy, this kind of reaction is a positive thing, your body took a big jump towards reacting to the venom. Generally, it only happens once. You may find that you won't get woozy this time. But Let Me Remind You that this kind of reaction will not guarantee the absence of an anaphylactic reaction which can put you in grave danger.
Barry, this reaction is not a perfect situation with anyone and bees. Seems that you are telling me that you have exposed yourself to the bees without taking appropriate care of yourself in the past. If you prefer to take care of your bees the way you have been, Please get an epipen and keep it near you at all times. Maybe even two epipens, on in your work box or truck, and one in a secure pocket. When you gather tools to work your bees, one of those tools should be an epipen.
