Tale in the sting

Article Abstract:

People who suffer a severe allergic reaction to bee and wasp stings, known as anaphylaxis, can die if the anaphylatic shock, which causes rapid swelling, is not treated immediately. It is vital that the person carries adrenaline at all times, so that symptoms can be treated as soon as stinging takes place. Anaphylaxis can also be caused by certain types of food, strenuous exercise and some immunisations or injections of antibiotics.
