Did you know?

There’s an Increase in Bees During Fall.

During the fall season, you may have noticed an increase in bees. This is due to the bees getting ready for winter. The bees send out more foragers in fall to collect food for supplies in winter. Bees may seem to be a bit more pestering during your lovely late summer/ early fall picnic because the bees begin to seek out artificial food sources. Of course as they get a bit more bothersome, it is human nature to swat them away. The bees get more aggressive as they are swatted at but also because in fall as they are trying to protect the hive. This is where you see an increase in bee stings.

Different Levels of Symptoms

Mild

  • Instant sharp pain at the site of the sting
  • Red welt at the sting site
  • Slight swelling around the sting area

In most cases, these symptoms disappear within a few hours.

Moderate

  • Extreme redness or swelling at the site of the sting
  • Swelling increases over the course of one to two days

The symptoms of a moderate reaction resolve within five to 10 days. A moderate reaction does not mean a severe allergic reaction will take course but the next time the same person is stung, they may have a similar reaction. It is recommended to talk to an Allergist about treatment and prevention if the same reaction becomes more severe each time.

Severe Allergic Reaction

A severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis is potentially life-threatening and should seek immediate emergency treatment. A common myth is going to the emergency room for bee sting anaphylaxis. It is best to see an Allergist as they have the proper treatment.

A small percentage of people who are stung by a bee experience anaphylaxis. Some signs and symptoms are:

  • Difficulty breathing
  • Swelling of tongue and throat
  • Skin reaction
  • Hives
  • Itching
  • Flushed or pale skin
  • Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Dizziness

The chances of experiencing anaphylaxis increases by 25% to 65% for someone who experiences a severe allergic reaction. Talk to an Allergist about prevention measures like immunotherapy to avoid similar reactions in case of the next bee sting.

Testimonials

“I was so nervous going here today because I have never been allergy tested. I found out that I have very sensitive skin & I’m allergic to NSAIDs. Dr. Wendelborn is very informative & took the time to explain everything. I would highly recommend his office for your allergy & asthma needs. I had a great experience from the minute I made contact with his office. The receptionist was very nice today and so was the clinical staff who took good care of me. They also explained every step as they did it so I knew what to expect. Keep up the great job!”

““I can’t say enough great things about my experience here! The woman who roomed me and did all the testing was wonderful! She was gentle when doing the pokes on my back and gave me a heads up on which area of the back might be a little more sensitive. Dr. Konz was also so wonderful! She was also very sweet and genuine. I was very comfortable and so open with her. She took her time in the room and didn’t come in, test quick and get out. She spent extra time with me talking things through and was very thorough!””
