I can’t believe she survived. What a fortunate woman to survive that ordeal.

I wonder what such a massive dose of bee venom does to your allergies and immune system. I hope she doesn’t have long-term effects.

Well, we all know what kind of bees they were, and where they came from (/s)

Here's a report on a fatal outcome of multiple bee stings. The paper says 500 stings can kill a man without prior sensitivity to bee venom. Bee venom causes a huge number of reactions to multiple systems in the body. Bee venom contains Phospholipase A2 can which can cause disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

Get this: COVID is exacerbated by the progression of thrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and cytokine storms.

I used to have quite a few hives of honeybees. I worked with my bees almost daily, and they were used to me and I didn’t have to wear any protection.

One day I discovered that a bear had knocked over several of my hives. I didn’t even have a shirt on, but I ran down and tried to set the hives back upright. Those bees ate me up. I had many stings.

I also used to go collect swarms of bees. People would call me. When bees are swarming, they are extremely gentle. I would pick them up in my hands, but them in a cardboard box, and take them home to give them a hive to live in. People called me from all over two counties to get swarms that landed on their properties.

Of course the publication is not going to tell us what kind of bees they are. But I am guessing Killer bees.

Remember years ago the ads in the back of magazines about bees curing arthritis? And bee pollen?

Possible they were Africanized “killer” Bees. Their impending migration to America used to be a big deal back in the 70’s.

Right out of some kind of wicked cruel horror movie. I hope this poor thing recovers.
