Bee stings are a slight nuisance for 95% of people. However, around 5% of people will need immediate medical attention. If you’ve been stung and you’re experiencing abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness, difficulty breathing, hives, or you notice swelling somewhere other than where the sting is (the most common sign of an allergic reaction is swelling of the face and tongue), you need to go to the nearest E.R. immediately.
