I've been stung scores of times over the years, hazard of being a country boy, and sometimes multiple stings at once. Twice I've had a bad reaction to single stings. The first was on the cheek, just below my eye, where I'd expect to react, if I was going to. The second was just a sting on the calf, no big deal, but my leg got really swollen and put me down for a day.

Doesn't make sense, but it has made me more apprehensive about stings, wondering if I'll have another reaction. Therefore, when I do get stung, I treat it with copious amounts of alcohol, usually Bourbon, plus keep it warm and moist.
