Taking advantage of the recent good weather, Ms. Shen (pseudonym), who lives in Yuhang, made an appointment with her family to go to the park to enjoy the flowers and camp together.
A bee has been quietly lurking on the edge of the fruit bowl. Just as Ms. Shen went to get the fruit, her hand was stung.
Immediately, the right hand becomes red, swollen and painful, followed by chest tightness and rash. Seeing this, the family immediately sent her to the emergency room of the Second People's Hospital of Yuhang District.
When she was admitted to the emergency room, Ms. Shen had already developed symptoms of anaphylactic shock. After two hours of anti-allergy and rehydration treatment, the allergy symptoms were relieved.
"In March, as many as 15 patients came to the clinic with bee stings. The emergency doctor said.

Unfortunately, he was stung by a bee
Emergency response is crucial
Bundle and wrap
Use a wide strip of cloth to tie the wound at the top (proximal end) of the four fingers.
Be careful not to bandage too tightly to prevent affecting blood circulation. Try not to exceed 2 hours, and open the bandaging for 1 minute every 15 minutes.
Pull out the stinger in time
Carefully inspect the skin for stingers and remove them immediately if found. You can use fingernails or tweezers to pull out the sting, or you can use adhesive tape to bring out the sting.
If the stinger pierced into the skin has a venomous glandular sac, it should not be squeezed to avoid the venom squeezing into the body and causing the poisoning to worsen.
Rinse locally
Find out what kind of bee you have been stung by before rinsing. The pH of the venom is different, and the treatment method is also different.
- If you are stung by a wasp, you can use an acidic liquid such as vinegar to rinse the wound;
- If you are stung by a bee, rinse it with alkaline liquids such as soda and soapy water;
- If the type of bee is not clear, rinse with clean water. Scratching should be avoided on the wound to avoid infection.
Ice
If there is significant pain after being stung, ice packs or ice cream can be applied to reduce swelling and pain.
See your doctor promptly
After a sting, if you have dizziness, chest tightness, difficulty breathing, confusion, etc., you must go to the nearest hospital.
