most of us have probably been bitten by
a bee or a wasp at some point or another
they hurt and they can hurt a lot but
for most of these things you can just
take care of at home this is a simulated
bee sting what you're noticing here is
some swelling and redness that swelling
and redness is just a reaction to the
sting and a little bit of venom that
goes in the body at this point as long
as you're not having an allergic
reaction to it it's fine to take care of
at home
[Music]
in the middle you'll see a little black
area there that's the stinger one
important part here is you want to get
that stinger out as soon as you can
so how do you do that easiest thing I
think is just to simply use tweezers you
just go with tweezers grab the little
black area and pull the tweezer out
[Music]
so now we're gonna see what it looks
like when a bee sting gets so bad that
you need to go to the emergency room
[Music]
even if the bee bites you in any other
part of the body if the swelling starts
to this area of the face you want to be
concerned because it can easily get to
the throat and cut off your breathing
which of course is life-threatening you
want to go ahead and get to the
emergency room as soon as you can if you
have an EpiPen use that before you get
there if you start noticing any problems
call 911 to make sure this bee sting was
truly just an annoyance and not
something that's going to be
life-threatening
