Home Remedy For Bee
Stings
By Sharon Hopkins
A bee sting is very painful. To give you a sting a bee loses
its life. It leaves a venomous sac which has to be withdrawn
immediately. These stings can be fatal if proper measures are
not taken. It is known that due to bee stings many people have
lost their lives. Swelling, itching and constant pain is what
you suffer due to the sting. There are allergic reactions too
which can take people’s life. These are some of the severe
reaction symptoms you can identify.
-Difficulty in Breathing
-Dizziness
-Anxiety
-Speedy Heartbeat
-Nausea, Cramps and Vomiting
-Abdominal Cramps
-Shock
-Headaches
When attacked, the first thing to do is to remove the venom sac
that is left behind by the bee. Don't try to pull out the sac
but rather scrape it off by a blunt object. By removing this
sac the chances of spreading reduces marginally.
