Default Wasp stings

2-3 months before developing the first symptoms of MG, my mom was stung by a wasp. After of a recent suggestion, we're wondering if the two might be related. There is research to back this up - I'll post some links below. Has anyone else seen this connection? Or, looking back now, was anyone stung by a wasp or other insect shortly before developing MG symptoms?

Ok, ***if you Google the titles you'll find them:
-Myasthenia gravis associated with wasp sting
-Myasthenia gravis and acute respiratory muscle paralysis following wasp sting
