THE DANGERS
Most bees will not attack unless they are disturbed (or are a particularly aggressive swarm).
A single sting, or bite, from the large Bumblebee whilst it may be painful is rarely fatal unless you are allergic to the sting in which case you may fall into anaphylactic shock. (Visit NHS DIRECT or BBC HEALTH for more information.)
Multiple stings can be a serious health problem.
Wasps and Hornets will almost always attack.
Personally we use household vinegar on our stings, but then we are used to them! We strongly recommend seeking medical advice and attention if you are at all concerned by a bite or sting.
ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK
An anaphylactic reaction can be caused by being stung by a bee or a wasp if the person who is stung is allergic to the venom.
As bees in particular, leave the stinger containing the poisonous sac embedded in the skin, the sooner you can remove the stinger, the less chance you have of suffering an allergic reaction.
However, if you suspect someone has gone into anaphylactic shock, (visit NHS DIRECT or BBC HEALTH for more information), it’s important to get them to hospital immediately.
Some people, who are only too aware of their allergy to bee and wasp stings, will carry a syringe with them - which is basically adrenaline which you can inject into the fleshy part of their thigh. They should advise you about this so that you know what to do in the event that they are stung.
However, there may be an occasion when somebody you’re with is stung and neither of you are aware that they have an allergy so you should make yourself aware of the symptoms and treatment of anaphylaxis, (visit NHS DIRECT or BBC HEALTH for more information), even if you’re not a sufferer yourself.
