Content: In cases like these, you could be experiencing an allergic reaction, and it is recommended that you seek medical help as soon as possible to make sure that the situation does not worsen. The average person can withstand one bee sting for every pound of body weight, as long as they do not have any adverse reactions to the sting. This means that approximately 1000 bee stings could kill the average sized adult male, while only 500 stings could potentially kill a small child. To receive that many stings, you would likely have to upset a nest of some kind, and be swarmed by a large amount of bees. Most stinging insects that are a part of the same family as bees will die after they sting you, but a number of insects that belong to the family will not die after the initial stinging and may be able to sting you several times. If you are allergic to a bee sting, you should notice an allergic reactionwithin the first hour after being stung. Most have been led to believe that it may take several stings for you to notice an allergic reaction, but this is not necessarily true. Individuals that are allergic to bee stings will likely notice the effects after the first sting, and within the first hour after being stung. Having an allergy to bee stings could place a person in anaphylactic shock, which is a very dangerous condition that could potentially kill. Those that are most at risk as a result of an allergic reaction to bee stings are young children and elderly adults, although they have typically been known to have less severe reactions to bee stings.
