Content: Can Bees Kill You? How Bee Sting Allergies Work
Can bees kill you? Well, when a honey bee stings, the stinger is detached from the bee and has a sac of venom. The venom is then injected into the skin and alerts your immune system, which causes an allergic reaction. The allergy is typically classified as either local or systemic. The local allergic reaction causes the area to become red and swollen but is not life-threatening; however, a systemic allergic reaction is. This is because it affects the entire body. The venom typically has two substances - phospholipase A2 and melatin. Melatin causes pain while phospholipase A2 damages the tissues it comes in contact with.
