You and Dixie gonna worry people to death!
So glad you are ok.
That was one hell of a reaction. You did the right thing.
My sisters throat swole up one day after eating shrimp. 40 years of eating shrimp and seafood in Hawaii....nothing....then one day.... Ambulance ride to the hospital for eating shrimp.
Ive never been stung by a bee or had chicken pox....I dread the day lol.
You did the right thing. You can always get money back, but you can’t get your life back.
Awwww Kelly!! We are so sad this happened to you and that we got delayed for this trip! So glad you were okay and we got to spend time together and can’t wait for the next adventure!! Much love ❤️
That bite looks like a fire ant bite.
Hawaiian boy here.
Glad your ok now buddy. Im wondering if it was a
Puss Caterpillar.
Envenomation causes intense throbbing pain, burning, and a rash with erythematous spots. More susceptible patients can experience swelling, nausea, abdominal pain, headache, lymphadenopathy, lymphadenitis, shock, and respiratory distress
Ive seen similar reactions to yours.
I've lived in Florida over 40 years and last year, for the first time, was bitten by a large red ant. They've got two huge mounds in my yard. It was one of the most painful experiences I've ever had and the pain lasted days. Not sure if that might be your culprit. Hope you get answers soon, as that is very disconcerting.
Woulsnt insurance cover calling an ambulance?
Idk how you are filming this.....or why.
Glad you are ok
Glad you're okay. I hope you can figure out what your trigger is and possibly get immunotherapy for it. I'm in my 40s and just out of the blue suddenly became allergic to bees, wasps, hornets (and likely fire ants, but haven't been tested). I was stung in my yard and within two minutes, I had rapid shallow breathing, an elevated heart rate and I became weak then lost consciousness and collapsed. I was so weak that once I regained consciousness it took me an hour to crawl ten feet to my phone so I could call 911. Not one month later, I was on a day hike with my wife and our dogs in an area without cellphone service and I was stung 5 times by yellowjackets. I took two epipens but still had the same reactions. I had labored, rapid breathing again, started to get tunnel vision and became too weak to walk. I didn't make it out of the woods on my own. I sat down and lost consciousness again. I rolled down a hill. My wife had to leave me in the woods so she could get cell service to call 911. I had to be rescued by the police, fire department and EMT's. My blood pressure was so low that their machine wouldn't read it. It was terrifying. I no longer do any hiking or even mow my lawn. I am getting immunotherapy, but it's not a foolproof solution. If you're going to continue to be outdoors in remote locations alone, always take your epipens (obviously) but take a PLB or a Garmin in-reach. I barely made it that day and if I were alone, I wouldn't have. And in the future if you start to feel like you're going into anaphylaxis, don't drive anywhere. Call 911 from where you are. Usually future reactions are worse than the first one that cause anaphylactic shock and you could lose consciousness while driving. I hope you can figure out what the cause was. I'm glad you're okay. Good luck and take care.
Hope this doesn't mean that we need to start calling you 8 lives! 🙂
I carry an epipen too (wasp type bugs) but I also carry benadryl and pepcid...kinda covers the rest of the symptoms that go with the reaction.....the first aid kit keeps growing! 😂🤦🏼♀️
Yes!!!! benadryl and pepcid along with the epi pen-- fast dissolving or liquid is best
Thank god you’re alright. As we get older we develop different allergies. Be safe!
Kelly! Sorry this happened to you. I suspect it could have been a Velvet Ant which are actually Wingless Wasps. See them all over Florida and definitely walking around Wekiwa boat launch. Below is from a website I found. "Although velvet ants are very docile and rarely come into contact with people, the female velvet ant has a very potent and toxic venom. A sting generally only occurs if they are accidentally stepped on. If a sting does happen, there is the possibility of a severe allergic reaction occurring in some people that will require immediate medical attention."
She would have known instantly if she was stung by a "Cow Killer" as they are also known as. Their sting is one of the most painful of all the insect kingdom. My guess is a fire ant, as they leave a pimple like mark, just like she had.
Ouch...Possible Black Widow bite. Happened to me whence living down FL way. Antihistamine and Adrenaline steroid to heal.
Glad you are feeling better. Was the snorkel new or float that you had? It could have been something to do with those rubber materials. Just my 2 cents I you find out the cause of the problem.
Glad you’re okay. Remember, if you jab yourself with an epipen that is a hospital event, it’s not the cure. The epi will prevent you from vapor locking until you get to the hospital. Good luck.
Looks like a fire ant bite.
... Hope there is an answer to work with ... Stay Safe and God Bless ...
It is strange because you've been bitten by so many bugs all over the country. But Florida has demon bugs, dear. I'm surprised they didn't munch you earlier on a kayak trip, hiking, etc. Get back in the ocean. No bugs. Just sharks. 😉🦈. No problem. Sharks are better than Florida bugs. I surfed dozens of Florida beaches with shark fins showing us up. FlaGirl
Damn, girl. Last video you talk about wanting to move to FL, and this one Florida is all "no thanks, we're full, just gonna kill you instead." So glad you got an Epi Rx, because that type of reaction is NOT something you want to mess around with. Sucks you missed out on all your fun adventures with your friends though.
Just a heads up if you go the the boardwalk by light house point park on lake door make sure your off by 8 pm me my wife and kids got locked behind the gate while fishing and had to call 911 to have them unlock it ..they locked the gate without notice or checking to see if anyone was there ..no signs thatsaid it closed
Please stop almost dying. We love you and and are so thankful you called for help. ❤
Glad you made the choice to go to the hospital! Hopefully you can get some answers soon. Showing that scared and vulnerable look might just help the next person make the right decision as well.
That is what I’m hoping as well.
Your lucky you even got in I live across the street from the park and most weekend mornings the entrance line is several miles and several hours long..long haul to the launch I'm disabled and they make me drag my kayak all the way down to the launch area glad you went to the ER been swimming there my whole life and never had any problems ..crazy alergic to bee sting?
Glad you went to the Hospital and got it taken care of. Stay healthy.
Crazy scenario!
Glad you’re ok !!!
Did Paramedics give you an EpiPen shot?
That little white dot on your toe is histamine, my bet is fire ant.
That is just insane knowing all the places you've been and this was never an issue prior. You made the right choice and I'm glad you sought help. I know the feeling of not wanting to go to the hospital all too well, but sometimes you just have to and worry about the bills later. Best wishes on the search for your known allergens!
You had us worried for a bit. Please let us know what the allergist discovers after testing. You obviously did the right thing by calling 911. Thank goodness you are ok. Please take care.
You absolutely made the right decision to call 911 and go to the ER. The Epipen will give you comfort in knowing you have it, JIC.
You just never know when some off the wall thing might happen. I am so glad you are okay.
Benadryl might be in your first aid bag. If not, put it in. Surprised the ambulance didn't give you that first hand. Glad you're better now!
Kelly, I usually address you as 9L, but, today it’s Kelly. I’ve subscribed before you left on your AT journey. I watched as you earned that trail name. I use it as a show of respect.
I watched as you have lived this full, exciting life since that fateful day. You hiked the Florida Trail, for Pete’s sake! In my head, for the last month or so, I’ve been calling you, Kelly Hays, The Girl Who Lived. (As you probably know, that’s a Harry Potter reference) Again, that is a show of respect. You are blessed lady and I’m so happy about that.
We’re so glad you made the decision to go to the hospital. You never know what’s out there.
Oh no! I have allergies also,may be fire ants! Go to E.R. always carry epi pens everywhere,but still go to urgent care!
I’m guessing a fuzzy caterpillar rubbed against your foot somehow. Maybe a flannel moth caterpillar aka puss caterpillar.
Glad you're OK
Hi Kelly so much beautiful Awesome Amazing scenery 😊 I Love your videos ❤😊. It’s Big Awesome Amazing 😊
Oh no..I read the title and then felt weird about hitting the thumbs up...😬So sorry this happened Kelly, glad you're doing better. Florida's full of critters that bite, sting and envenomate
Keep your head on a swivel, eh?
Oh no!!! Scary. I’ve had that happen twice and no either time I don’t know what I got into. Benadryl I always carry. It worked one time then the another time I had a reaction to the steroid they gave me. Hopefully you find out but not likely. Stay safe.
Glad you made the right decision !!! I have to keep an EpiPen when outdoors cause I 'm allergic to wasps.... it's just a part of being prepared...go Kelly....
I've been thinking about this since you mentioned it on Instagram. Definitely a severe reaction Kelly, you were in rough shape. I used to react violently to stings when I was young, but not now. Never been allergic to cats, but am now. 😐 Allergies are confusing to say the least. At least you have a defense with the epi-pen. I questioned the water until I saw the sting/bite mark. Hopefully the video documentation will help pinpoint a diagnosis. So glad you're ok now. ✌️
Good call getting help, that looked scary! 🙏✌️❤️
Very glad you caught it and are safe! I'm surprised the ambulance was not more forceful or convincing. You were definitely going down a bad path with that reaction you showed when first in the car!. I am very allergic to fire ants and wasps/bees/hornets. Been in the hospital twice for anaphalaxis. Your GI reaction is interesting I have never heard of that. My severe reactions included shutting off the airway.
You mentioned "epi-pen". Just in case you got the actual epi-pen they are really expensive. Look for Auvi-Q much cheaper and the form factor is more easily packable. Even if you use epinephrine the recomendation is that you still go to the hospital.
As for what it was or why it is possible for our reactions to antigens to change over time. It could be just as we age or with exposure. So even though a person may never have had a reaction to X it is not necessarily always true. The other problem is once you have had a reaction consecutive reactions can be worse as you become more sensitized. So Ms. this all means you have to be really really careful about your outdoor activity and being alone or remote. One thing that has certainly helped aside from the allergy shots is to stay calm, cease activity, take a good dose of benedryl, and when possible I add ice to the site of bite/sting.
I have been getting allergy shots for over a decade now and my reactions are pretty small now. I highly recommend the shots but it comes with a price both literally and figuratively. It gets expensive if insurance is an issue. Also have to ramp up dosages over time. So your ability to roam may be hampered when trying to schedule around the shots at first.
Stay safe!
That’s so scary, Kelly! Hope you’ve found some answers.
A cold water allergy, yes this does exist, happened to my wife later in life.
Damn!! Let us know what you find out please!!!
Kelly, that was so scary! Would recommend chewable to or liquid benadryl as these kick in more quickly. Also, how often do random people recognize you now?
Wow! Glad you are okay. What a scary experience! Sounds like maybe sea lice larva or jelly fish larva except that it was only one sting. Hope you get some helpful information. Good luck!
That's crazy! You start the day snorkeling in the sun and fun and later you're in the ER and don't know what caused it.
Uggh. Burnt my garlic bread watching you have a boohoo. Thumbs up video
You only got 9 Lives ! .....How many NOW you got LEFT ????? .... Stay well Kell ! ....I wanna see many MORE adventures ! ...........Never know what's gonna happen to ya next ! ......That's what makes watchin' your life so appealing.........God is watching over you, for sure !
Glad you recovered quickly. No telling what it was possibly some type spider ? Thanks for showing us the bad and good. 😊
I am afraid of losing you,i am really in love with you,i can not live without you.please forget him.just wait.shamim zahuri,bangladesh🎎💘🤰🤱
9 Lives, how fitting! Ouch glad your okay…… I made it to Sedona, Epic!
That was some bad news, so let's keep on hiking 😊
I think you may have kicked a poisonous caterpillar. Love your videos
Popping in to say, Kelly girl, you might want to take a break from the outdoors lol
Could be anything Kelly, but around this area deer flies can cause some people to have reactions the same way as bees and wasps. Just a thought, glad your better
6:45 "How much is that going to cost"
From hearing that ik you manage money well 😉.. I'm glad you're fine. God is about to bless you so much ! Keep going , hope to see more vlogs. Subing rn
You should carry Benadryl, Ibuprofen and an Epipen (do not freeze it, put it in fridge but keep it in a container where it can be around 77 degrees) with you whenever you go into the water so you can treat yourself the minute you start developing anaphylactic shock symptoms.
Enjoy your videos. Hope all is well with you!
I think I have the answer Kelly, your allergic to overcrowded swimming area's 😁 ( obviously throwing some humour into what was a very serious situation )
So Sorry Kelly I pray you find out what caused your reaction. God bless thanks for all the wonderful videos keep up the work. Ps enjoyed the Alaska trip that on my buck list.
"How much is that gonna cost?" That was one of the saddest questions I've ever heard an adult ask. The fact that it was a college educated professional asking it make it even worse. There is something very wrong with that country.
Yup. My mom was literally dying in front of me with a heart attack and she told me not to call an ambulance because of the cost. I ignored her. She ended up flatlining 3 times. Had I not called, she wouldn’t be here today. I agree the cost for healthcare is ridiculous. I used to work in a hospital.
I had a friend transported by helecopter $35k he talked them down to $11,000 for the gas I believe
@flashted I'm so grateful for our healthcare system. I've had so many 500km medi-vac flights that I lost count a decade ago. Each one included advanced care ambulance transport at both ends. Any one of those trips would have cost double our annual family income, but they didn't cost us a cent. I'm sure that it's possible to get better medical care in the US, but only if you're wealthy.
Also, the idea of having some pencil pusher at an insurance company with no medical training deciding which treatments and medications I'm entitled to is completely, gobsmakingly bonkers to my mind.
I was bitten by Redants which I didn't know I was highly allergic to wput me in the hospital
Yup, and not only people. I live in California and had to take my 6 month pup to the vet. They told me he had to stay 3 nights which would be more than $15,000. Not including treatment and xrays. Ended up taking him to TJ for the less than a 10th of that price. He's all better now thank God. ❤
Chère amie je te souhaite un joyeux Noël
je suis de Belgique en Europe
Wow just glad you went to hospital and are doing well…🙏🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊😊😊
Horsefly bites are quite common at the springs here in Florida. I wonder if that’s what caused your reaction?
Was there ever a follow up on this? I'm glad you're doing better!
As I got older, I developed allergies to the most random things. Now I get horrible reactions when a bee stings be which I never had issues with when I was younger.
Please take care about your health ❤ God bless you ❤ have a wonderful day ❤
I used to live in central FL. I have been there to Wekiwa a few times. Most likely it was a brown scorpion or wasp floating in the water. I have been stung that way in a pool
Very small , and common. Sometimes the end up in the water, and can sting you because they're freaking out and dying same thing with a honey bee or wasp.
Could have been this also. Said to be able to kill a cow.. No joke very toxic to bovines.
Ive seen them many times as I crawled around in the Floridia forrests. They literally hiss at you
"Velvet Ant Wasps in FloridaMales cannot sting and are harmless, but the females have an extremely painful sting, as suggested by the name “cow killer” given to some of the larger species. Their bright colors are actually a signal warning predators to stay away"
Dam Kelly that went south quickly. I hope you get well and find out what happened. I was going to say that Wekiwa has nice paddle boarding and I thought you passed by there on the FL Trail. But let’s move on I guess.
When you had originally posted about this on...FB maybe? I was expecting much more of a random water source out in the woods; not something that was so public. I hope you are able to get answers soon. Not knowing the cause can be extremally worrying, I'm sure.
Girl, I think you're blowing through those 9 lives!!! I'm so glad that you're ok and I hope you this is a one time experience for you. Sending lots of love and prayers.
I have experienced a Similar allergic reaction as a result of a single Lone Star tick bite. My reactions are delayed 5-6 hours after eating mammal meat...so no beef or pork. Hive reaction is very similar. Crashing blood pressure, increased heart rate, full body hive attack. Some outgrow symptoms but after 8 years, I still can't eat mammal meat.
That is very scary stuff. All I can say is that I am praying for you and that the Lord Jesus Christ would watch over and protect you as you pursue your adventures. God bless and I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
I had that same style of reaction TWICE… lips swelled, body felt hot, red welts all over.
Military lift took me out. Sent me to Texas and all they did was give me epinephrine and Benadryl.
All that to give me that same stuff we had where I was deployed 🤦♂️
Next day I found a lump on my arm with a small mark like a spider bite.
Second time I had this reaction. I don’t remember much. But I couldn’t get treatment.
You make excellent decisions.
Next adventure?
you are a

There was a teacher whom didn't believe in the existence of God, one day he asked his students, do you see God?
the students then replied no we don't see God, so the teacher said if you don't see God it means there is no God.
then a smart student stood up and said to the other students hey guys can you see the teachers brain?
then the students answered no we don't see the teachers brain, the student then said the teacher then is crazy, he has no brain
:0)
The universe science says was not always there, it had a beginning point, the big bang, meaning it was begun/initiated in other words created, thus there should be a creator,
there must be a God.
One God for all of us
he created us all and can revive us again,
The evolution theory doesn't deny the existence of God, rather it proves that even if we become dust that there is a possibility of return, even if via repetition of the evolution of creation, through the will of God, again.
So, God initiated everything,
& he repeat/redo things too, & thats clear, we see many cycles of different things in life, also in summer for example the desert land is like empty and is filled with only sand, but when rain falls in abundance in spring or winter, after that small flowers & wild plants grow again & it becomes green, also, we see how humans and animals grow and how their body is formed from the elements which were in the sand which plants feed on which they eat, and after they die they go to the sand and their atoms/elements are taken by plants which humans & animals eat and their bodies grow from those atoms & elements found in the sand which came from previous humans & animals which died before, so God can bring us again after we die even if our atoms became in the sand he can make us from the same atoms we were made of or from other atoms if he want or make us be in a spirit form or like ghosts, any ways, everything in this life is recycled, learn if you want about the different cycles in life in nature, the food cycle or food chain, the water cycle, even the gas cycle that makes the air the oxygen &carbon dioxide &nitrogen cycles, even the energy is like recycled but only changes from form to another form.
Anyways, God created this life but it's only a temporary sample/an example of a coming everlasting one
which could be either in heaven paradise or in hell.
If we try to be good humans in life, and try to obey God and his messengers-including the final messenger for all humanity the prophet Mohammed- and those whom rightly represent them, for example imam Ali & ahlulbayt the family/good descendants of the prophet mohammed, then we will all go to heaven/paradise, if not then we will go to hell fire and burn in it forever.
keep shining sunshine &spread the light.
Sorry to hear about your mishap certainly will be nice for you to have answers and we’re glad you’re OK of course!
My daughter gets that did you use any creams with coconut oil ?
Look up things that boost your immune system. And there are a lot of things you can take with you on hikes.Stay safe darling.
Man, crazy thing that happened to you. Any chance you stepped on or were bitten by one of them poisonous caterpillars?
How many lives have yo gone through now. One on the AT, one on the PCT, and another one now. By my count you have six left. Use them wisely.
probably from all those people in the water, no telling what they had.
My guess is the tiny black flys there. I grew up in Wekiva and have seen multiple people get a crazy reaction from them. Sorry and hope you feel better. Wekiva is a sacred place. Deep in the woods on the river is much more peaceful. Please come back
The first thing you said was that you got stung by something? My first thought was it must’ve been a bee 🐝 of some sort. This time of year yellow jackets are active and they will sting if you get near or step on their nest which is usually in the ground. I got stung by 30 when I was a young boy and it made me allergic, so I always carry an EpiPen and Benadryl. What’s interesting about your episode is that it only took one bee to do it or one of whatever it was? You are very fortunate that it was only one 😮
That's what happens to me when I get bit by 1 wasp and or fire ants.....sux
Omg that was so bad smart move on calling 911 happy you are ok i hope you find answers soon
Hi, Kelly. That happens to me if I get anywhere near Citronella, like a mosquito candle. So glad you are OK now. Blessings.
Whoa that looked scary it maybe Bug bite?
kelly you made the right decision to go to the hospital
"You know your body better than we do" ... Not the statement I would expect a trained EMS professional to say!
there has been bateria high levels in some springs because of low water flow, some springs were closed because of it.
Sorry Angel thinking of you!!!!!!!!!
That looks like a fire ant bite, nasty lil bugs. I'm allergic and so is my dad, we have kinda the same reactions even needing to go to the hospital when bitten. Unfortunately they are everywhere here in Florida.
Scary, Glad you are ok. Shout out to EMS, they were very calm and helped you make the best decision. You were restless and anxious, part of the reaction and they did not want to increase that. some are not understanding this. You cannot bully patients into going to the hospital, not as long as they have their mind and can decide.
As I've gotten older my allergies have gotten worse and I also carry an epipen with me.
Holy hell, that scared the shit out of me!! Hope you find an answer.
I’m glad you prioritized your health 😊
Crazy episode holy cow. I'm glad you're okay. Anyways, let's stay out of emergency please. You're really good athlete. It was kind of funny that they park ranger knew you from the videos. Anyways, I'll keep following you and look forward to your hiking. Kayaking, surfing besides going to emergency
