Hi all
I know, another wasp sting story, please read, it could help you or your friends.
Today, 13.00 hrs. Cutting palm tree, stung on head by wasp/bee (SLIGHT reaction in the past), run to wife, she laughs. I take anti histamine tablet .
13.15, finished cutting palms, itchy sensation on hands, strange ?, probably to hot, jump in pool for swim.
13.20, itchy feeling now over most of body, exit pool, go inside to dry, towelling off, wife says “what’s that”, large blobs under armpits, I also feel slight throat irritation.
13.30, blobs now on arms, legs, lips and throat worse
13.35, changed clothes, drive to local private hospital (7 min away)
13.42, arrive A+E, wife signs me in as i am taken to emergency room , tell nurse of the sting and my reaction to it.
13.50, oxygen mask on, I V line put in to hand (in case they need to inject drugs quickly) put on a drip of Anti sting ( don’t know the name)
14.00, taken to private room, just like good quality hotel room, itching intense, blobs / swellings all over, worst in hotter areas (arm pits, groin ect), still on Anti sting (second bag so far), nurse says any problems push the help button.
14.20, Wife helping by pointing out new blobs and my red complexion.
14.30, restriction in throat, hard to swallow, push THE button.
14.31 nurse in room, she gets a doctor, checks breathing, he thinks i am ok, but organises E N T to look at Throat.
14 .45 E N T doctor, I tell my problem, taken to examination chair, he puts endoscope (camera on a stick) in ears, up nose and in the mouth area, all this in colour on a monitor that me and wife can see, i thought thats that but no, doc asks me to poke out tongue i do, he grabs it and down the camera goes, not good.
15.00, back in room, E N T doc happy, swelling going down, i also feel a bit better, drugs working, wife still helping “you look better now” “wish i bought the camera”
15.00, feeling very good now, I know this as now I am thinking what’s this going to cost ( no insurance) wife still helping by saying 10€, 20€, 30€ as the drip feeds the anti sting in to my arm.
16.00, discharged feeling good, all for 560 ytl.
Point of post.
Wasp or bee stings effect people in various ways, no two stings are the same, if you experience swellings or itching take care. I will always carry Antihistamine in the future.
