Content: 3. Severe Allergic Reaction
The most serious reaction to a bee sting is an allergic one. Potentially life-threatening, symptoms of a severe allergic reaction include: Hives and itchy skin
Difficulty breathing and tightness in the chest
Abdominal cramping and nausea
Difficulty swallowing due to the swelling of the tongue and throat
Anaphylaxis, the most severe type of allergic reaction, can occur within minutes of being stung. Symptoms may include: Severe nausea, vomiting, and headache
Dizziness or fainting caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure
Convulsions or a loss of consciousness
People who experience a severe allergic reaction are up to 60% more likely to experience anaphylaxis the next time they’re stung. To prevent this, consult a doctor or allergy specialist about preventative options. When to See a Doctor
Most bee stings won’t require a trip to the doctor. As mild symptoms typically last only a few hours, they can be easily treated at home. However, if the symptoms don’t go away within a few days, or if you’ve been stung multiple times, you should seek medical advice.
