My own theory (as this is true for various substances, including carcinogens I've read about) is that in my case it was a two-component reaction - either alone shows no effect. With bee venom, if I recall correctly, the first allergic reaction is mild but sets your body up to go ape-sh*t crazy on the next exposure.
Mrs. Wife has allergies - goes to the allergist monthly for boosters - but as best as I can tell, human allergies are largely a guessing game. The rise of peanut allergies is, in part, due to allergists recommending (via pediatricians) to not feed young children peanut containing food. Well, as it turns out, Israel has a very low peanut allergy rate and it was determined that it's because small children were commonly fed something a snack food called "Bissli" that contained peanuts.
Still - I'm sure you know enough not to tempt fate.

The trials specifically excluded those who have a history of bad allergic reactions.
The good news is they both recovered fine.
It's an issue only for a minority of people. As long as we get ~70% of a population with immunity we win.

In my ice, I've always found 'current affairs' to be quite a shock.
