ER24 Spokesperson Chitra Bodasing Harduth confirms that all patients are in a stable condition at this stage.
ER24 offers the following general advice to people: There are instances where you cannot foresee bee attacks. General advice to the public would be not to provoke bees or interfere with bee hives. Seek professional assistance.
If you are stung by a bee/bees scrape the sting off as quick as possible. If stung by a bee and your throat closes, if you have difficulty in breathing or you have severe swelling in your face and throat, seek urgent medical attention.
If you are allergic to bees and you are stung by a bee but show no adverse effects immediately, still seek medical assistance. Also, if you know that you are allergic, speak to a medical professional so that they can prescribe the correct medication for you.
