Thought that was an old wives tale? Not sure it would have helped much as leg was a mess. Did the usual ice etc but got worse and worse so off to ER.You should have put honey on it

Yeah it’s definitely scary when you see the red creeping up the limb. Glad your son got through it ok.We were in the same boat a while ago. Son got stung by a bee. Leg puffed up antibiotics and a few days in hospital. Dr reckons bee had a dirty stinger and caused an infection. Not sure I have heard of that but scary as swelling was going up the leg and had the Drs worried.
Glad to hear all on the mend.
Honey dose actually have healing properties The problem is the bees work on the Americans health care systemThought that was an old wives tale? Not sure it would have helped much as leg was a mess. Did the usual ice etc but got worse and worse so off to ER.
Almost sounds like an allergic reaction to the sting, I used to live next door to bee hives as a kid and every sting was worse than the time before.Yeah it’s definitely scary when you see the red creeping up the limb. Glad your son got through it ok.
That’s what we we thought but docs said definitely not it’s an infection caused by the toxins. So yeah dunno. Hand still looks like it would pop if I put a pin in it but infection is gone.Almost sounds like an allergic reaction to the sting, I used to live next door to bee hives as a kid and every sting was worse than the time before.

Having suffered many bee stings in my life I was actually curious when infection was mentioned as no body I had heard of ever getting infection - so looked it up - seems an allergic reaction will be anaphylactic shock and with out treatment quickly (think epee pen) you will die - and infection does occur and it’s more common than you think - this gets treated with antibiotics and something akin to a Staph infection - I also found that it’s very common for bee stings to have effects for up to 7 days after the sting pain numbness swelling irritation - I had only ever got stung pulled out stinger and forgot about them.

The advantage of having big feet is that the venom is more diluted .Having suffered many bee stings in my life I was actually curious when infection was mentioned as no body I had heard of ever getting infection - so looked it up - seems an allergic reaction will be anaphylactic shock and with out treatment quickly (think epee pen) you will die - and infection does occur and it’s more common than you think - this gets treated with antibiotics and something akin to a Staph infection - I also found that it’s very common for bee stings to have effects for up to 7 days after the sting pain numbness swelling irritation - I had only ever got stung pulled out stinger and forgot about them.

now before you think are you that bored - yes yes I am cannot do anything for another 3 days (been 11 so far) and then very limited activity until March.
Great to hear the infection has gone @Jpez hopefully the swelling has followed suit and gone down as well.Yeah all good thanks for asking.
She got stung by a bee and got a really bad reaction to the toxins. Weird as she’s been stung twice before and by a wasp!
Quite a significant infection which super strong antibiotics took care of. Her hand was so swollen it was really scary. They were going to keep her for two nights but the infection has gone. Just insane swelling now which got the plastics doctors involved because lots of little nerves can be damaged. But antibiotics. How good is science!!
