OK after an afternoon in A&E I am questioning if I do love those bees! That sting last night has developed a bit to say the least, first photo is about an hour after the sting, second was in the A&E waiting room.
Looks is if somebody has just blown up a washing up glove!
So I now have cellulitis, a big dose of antibiotics and penicillin and arm in a sling for two days, if swelling keeps moving up arm it's into hospital and onto a drip!
Googled cellulitis, wish I hadn't!
So does this spell the end of my rather short journey into beekeeping? I hope not, but not keen to test out another bee sting too soon!
Thanks to Sue from beesnbeans who forwarded a month or so ago, an email about beekeepers reporting very bad bee stings this year which have lead to cellulitis, I wonder why, is there some new bee disease lurking around the corner?
Without Sue's email would I have bothered to go to the hospital?
