Content: Check out our article, “ How to Avoid Bee Stings ” for tips to decrease the chances of a painful sting. Most people stung by bees experience initial sharp pain, swelling, and redness around the site, followed by dull pain and itching that can last for multiple days. If, however, you’re one of those 3% with an allergy to insect stings, the situation can be much worse, even life-threatening. Some of the minor allergic responses to bee stings include hives and swelling away from the actual sting site, headaches, nausea, and abdominal cramping. Anaphylaxis, however, is a life-threatening reaction involving difficulty breathing, dizziness, shock, and loss of consciousness. Without immediate medical care, including but not limited to the use of an epinephrine injector, people with severe sting allergies can be killed by a single bee sting. It’s best not to let bees live around your home if you or someone in your family is allergic. Some people do not have allergies, but instead, have a phobia of bees. The irrational, sometimes debilitating, fear of bees is called apiphobia or melissophobia. This is not the same thing as being afraid of bees and bee stings.
