Bees stings

Hairy bees are usually not aggressive and do not sting, but if they sting, their sting site causes a strong local reaction in some people.
The bee colony continues to live in winter. Therefore, it is possible to be stung by a bee in the sunny days of winter, but it is more likely from spring to autumn.
Hairy bees are not aggressive insects and the probability of stinging them is very low.
Yellow narrow-waisted bees with black lines nest under the ground or empty spaces and are fond of all kinds of sweets and over-ripe fruits.
The most cases of allergy caused by animal poison are related to these bees.
Considering that only the queen can survive in winter and the rest of the herd die in winter, there is a possibility of being stung by this bee only in summer and early autumn.
After being stung, this bee can remove its sting from the sting site and sting repeatedly, while the honey bee loses its sting after being stung.
Honey bee venom contains melittin, and yellow bee venom contains antigen 5, and the venom of both bees contains phospholipase A and hyaluronidase allergens. Beekeepers, farmers, gardeners and those who live and work in nature are exposed to bee stings.
Allergy to insect bites does not require a previous history of allergy.
In the western cities of Germany, about three million and two hundred thousand people are allergic to bee stings. According to official statistics, between ten and forty people die from bee stings every year.
With timely diagnosis and a little prevention, this statistic can be reduced.
Sensitivity to insect bites can be determined through various tests, such as skin tests, blood tests, needle prick tests, and CAP and RAST tests. If you have a skin condition or a red, swollen spot of at least ten centimeters on your body, you should not Do an allergy test for insect bites.

Paying attention to the following tips and applying them will reduce the probability of being stung by a bee:
 If you encounter a crowd of bees, avoid any sudden and violent movements.
  Do not stop near very ripe and crushed fruits.
 Use gloves when working in the garden.
Avoid wearing loose clothes that wave in the wind and clothes with sharp and shiny colors.
 Avoid going on picnics and eating outdoors.
  Never walk barefoot.
 Note that all kinds of sweets attract bees.

• Remove the insect bite from the bite site.
• To do this, grab the poison gland with a nail or tweezers so that there is no pressure on the poison gland.
• In severe local reactions, it is recommended to use antihistamines such as cetirizine and loratadine or a coronet tablet.
• Adrenaline should be used in severe reactions. As soon as you see shortness of breath, dizziness or hives in a place far away from the insect bite, inject adrenaline with an automatic syringe. Those who are allergic to insect bites should always and everywhere carry two adrenaline syringes with them.
• Reducing sensitivity is the best way to protect against general reactions and prevent anaphylactic shock, so that after determining a person’s sensitivity to bee stings, some bee venom should be injected regularly and planned.
• The injection of poison starts with a very small amount and is done weekly within three to six months (in very sensitive individuals within six months and up to one year) and the amount of poison is gradually increased so that at the end of the period reach one hundred milligrams.
• Then the same amount of poison is injected monthly or every two months for three to five years. If possible, it is better to continue this work throughout life. In this way, a person becomes immune to the risks of allergy to bee stings up to 90%. Reduction of sensitivity is done only in specialized allergy centers and if necessary.
