What to do if you are stung by a gourd bee

Bees are insects that feed on pollen and nectar and can transfer pollen. The honey that bees make by collecting nectar is very sweet and is loved by people. However, bees are also very dangerous to people. Being stung by a bee can cause redness, swelling and pain at the mildest, and may be life-threatening at the worst, because bees are poisonous. Calabash bees are very poisonous. So what should you do if you are stung by a Calabash bee?

After being stung by a bee, you can use a needle or tweezers to pick out the stinger, but do not squeeze it to prevent remaining toxins from entering the body. Then apply ammonia, soda water or urine to the sting to neutralize the poison. You can soak a towel in cold water and apply it to the injured area to relieve swelling and pain. Go to hospital after simple treatment

In mild cases, the injured area may have erythema, papules or wheals with ecchymosis in the center, and may cause burning and stinging sensation. If there are no symptoms 20 minutes after the sting, you can rest assured.
