Many animals are also allergic to bee stings. The internet is a great source to find first aid information for your pets on bee stings, before it happens. And if you want to take pet first aid a step farther than bee stings, I recently took a pet first aid course for peace of mind and I am glad I did. Let’s not forget our four legged friends.

They have a venom kit that i used to carry. It has a reverse vacuum pump to pull the stinger out...works marvelously. Poison Control Center is another great resource. My eldest son wanted to taste everything...they are great at telling you what to do. Great carring people. Prayers that all the children are safe. My son is quite allergic to stings.

I babysit a 5 year old that is afraid of bees so we will practice this so it will come naturally if this ever happens. Thanks for the suggestion about the statue.

I have an epipen but I have not been stung recently. In the past, I have used benedryl to help lessen the chance of anaphylaxis developing to it's full extent. I'm not suggesting doing this for children without parental consent, but if you have no other options for yourself, for example if you're out hiking with no cell service, this is a good thing to carry with you whether you are allergic or not. It could help to lessen the severity of a severe allergic reaction which can develop in people that have been stung before with no reaction. I am also allergic to bees.

I am allergic to bees. I carry a shot with me. So far I haven't had to use it, even though I did get stung. I immediately make a past of meat tenderizer, while I am applying a ice pack on the bite. It has worked like a charm both times I was bit. The information on bee stings was a refresher one for me. I am allergic to bees. I carry a shot with me.
