How Do You Deal With Bee Sting Allergy?
A bee has a barbed stinger that injects venom into their victims. If you’re not allergic, a bee sting leaves a painful welt. If you are allergic, you may develop hives, severe itching at the site or even go into anaphylactic shock which, if not treated, is fatal. If you or a family member has a bee sting allergy, you must know how to treat it. Be watchful of children the first time they get stung by a bee. Allergic reactions include hives, itching/ swollen eyes, dry coughing, difficulty breathing, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, swelling of the tongue, dizziness and fainting. Allergic reactions usually occur within minutes after the bee sting, though a reaction can occur 24 hours after the sting. Contact emergency services if someone you know has a run-in with a bee. The sooner the treatment is for a bee sting, the better. Carry epinephrine (adrenaline) with you if you know you have a major bee sting allergy. You inject epinephrine into the skin after a bee sting to combat the side
