Summer time--warm sunny days, flowers blooming, bees droning in the background. A pleasant scene, that is, until your child accidentally steps on a bee and gets stung. Bee stings are quite common in the U.S., especially during temperate months of spring and summer. There is an average of 48 reported deaths due to bee stings each year, and one-half to three percent of the population is considered allergic to venomous stings. So, all parents should be aware of bee sting reactions and what to do if their child is stung. Prevention, as with many things, is also a key component in decreasing the risk of getting stung by a bee.
