What Are Symptoms Of An Allergic Reaction To A Bee Sting?
Symptoms of an allergic reaction or “anaphylaxis” may include one or more of the following: hives, itching, or swelling in areas other than the sting site, tightness in the chest and difficulty breathing, hoarse voice or swelling of the tongue, dizziness or a sharp drop in blood pressure, unconsciousness or cardiac arrest. This type of reaction can occur within minutes after the sting and may be life-threatening or even fatal. People who have experienced an allergic reaction to a bee sting have a 60% chance of a similar or worse reaction if stung again.
