According to medical experts, when stung by hornets, hornets or other dangerous insects, if not given timely emergency care, some victims are at risk of death within the first 30 minutes. The risk of death depends not only on the amount of venom but also on the constitution and reaction of each person's body. This means that just 1 bee or 1 poisonous insect can kill a person. Therefore, people should never be subjective when stung by bees or bitten by insects or snakes...
How to treat a bee sting: Remove the victim from the area where the bee stung; keep the victim still, avoid moving too much to limit the spread of venom in the body. Bees often leave needles and venom sacs at the sting site. If the stinger protrudes to the skin surface, use tweezers to gently remove the needle. Avoid using your hands to pick or rub or press on the sting because the needle stuck to the skin has a venom sac attached that will continue to inject poison into the body. Wash the sting with soap or clean water, warm water, antiseptic solution. Apply a cold towel or ice pack to the sting area to reduce swelling, relieve pain... Let the victim drink plenty of water to eliminate toxins.
When stung by a bee, first aid should be given quickly and the victim's symptoms monitored. If there are severe signs (difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, hives, etc.), the victim should be taken to the hospital immediately. In particular, the more bee stings the victim has, the sooner he or she should be taken to the hospital. Absolutely do not use folk methods (such as lime, bee guts, etc.) or use drugs not prescribed by a doctor to treat the victim.
