When it's sunny and warm, people love
to spend time outside. Sadly, spending time
outdoors can mean the risk of a bee sting(蜇
伤;蜂刺). Most stings are caused by yellow
jackets.
Many people are afraid of the honey bee
because of its sting. When a bee stings
something, it will lose its stinger and die soon.
If you leave it alone, it will not hurt you.
To avoid bee stings, shoes should always
be worn outside. It is best to wear light-
coloured clothing. Bees like bright colours.
Children should not play near flowers.
If you or your child gets a sting, there are
some things you should do:
1. Look for the sting and take it out.
2. Wash the sting area with running
water for 20 minutes.
3. If the sting area still hurts, put ice on
it for 10 minutes.
Usually the pain from a sting stops in
some hours. The place of the sting may be
swollen(肿胀的) for 24 hours. Call a doctor if
the place of the sting stays swollen for more
than one day or if you have great pain. If a
person is stung many times, the person may
have a headache or a fever. If the person can't
breathe because of the stings, call an
ambulance right away.
