If you have ever been stung by a bee, I am sure you will
describe the sensation of a bee sting as very painful, sharp and burning which
may last, if you are lucky, at least for several minutes. As a matter of fact,
bee sting may show a different effect in different people. Some may experience
a mild effect as described above, which can get worse to the most serious,
worst and deadly situation, an anaphylactic shock.
The message is that you should never take a bee sting too
lightly. Be serious and act fast if you encounter somebody (or yourself) stung
by a bee. An allergic reaction needs only minutes to show the symptoms which
include swelling and redness around the spot of bee sting which than can
develop to a more serious situation. Watch for signs of anaphylactic reaction
which is indicated by the presence of itching, red trashes (hives) and
shortness of breath. Do not panic, here are some tips on how to manage somebody
stung by a bee:
1 - Evacuate the victim out of the bee area to a safer place
or spot. If the victim stays at the same place there is a great possibility
that some other bees are encouraged to sting the victim.
2 - Locate the spot(s) of bee stingers and remove it
immediately without any delay. Remove it whatever way you do it, just remove it.
The longer a stinger stays in the body the greater the risk for getting worse.
3 - Ask the person whether he or she has experienced an
allergic reaction (indicated by itching and red trashes) after being stung in
the past. If yes, this means that the person is susceptible to another allergic
reaction, which might even be worse than the previous one.
4 - Check with the person whether he or she carries an
EpiPen to immediately inject the epinephrine. If the EpiPen is not available,
you should call 911 immediately without any delay.
5 - In cases where the victim was stung by more than 10
bees, or if the stung involves critical areas like the inner side of the nose,
mouth or throat, you should bring the victim to the emergency department
immediately. Swelling in these areas will narrow the air passage hence the
victim will experience shortness of breath.
Sting effect relieves
If the bee sting does not cause any serious allergic effects
where an emergency treatment is not necessary, you can remedy the local effects
of a bee sting with conventional drugs which include:
- An antihistamine to cease the allergic reaction. Benadryl
which contains diphenhydramine will do well although in some sensitive people
it may show an effect of drowsiness. You can also take a less sedating
anti-allergic drug such as loratadine. The topical antihistamine may also be
used to reduce the allergic effect locally.
- A pain reliever such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen will help
with the pain.
- An antibiotic ointment may be needed to cure possible wound
infection at the spot of the stinger. Check with your doctor whether you need a
tetanus immunization.
- You should also keep in mind that naturally most of the bees
do not sting unless they feel annoyed or endangered by something. If you do
beekeeping, it suggested that you use your beekeeper suit.
