B-Ready First Aid info about Bee Sting management. For most people a bee sting is just painful & annoying. If the stinger is left in the skin, flick or scrape it away asap, you could use a key or fingernail & apply an ice pack to lessen the pain. If they are experiencing an allergic reaction such as wheezing & breathing difficulties, hives or facial swelling call 000 & administer their EpiPen if available. If they also suffer from asthma administer Ventolin using the 4x4x4 technique.

Flick don't squeeze if the bee leaves the stinger behind.

The ASCIA Action Plan for Anaphylaxis is an emergency response plan for severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). Current ASCIA Action Plans are the 2023 versions. However, prior versions (2022 and 2021) are still valid for use in 2023. Information about what has been updated in the 2023 plans is available at www.allergy.org.au/about-ascia/info-updates/new-2023-versions-of-ascia-action-plans-for-anaphylaxis
ASCIA Action Plans do not expire, and therefore the plan is still valid beyond the recommended review date, which is a guide for patients to see their doctor. For more information about ASCIA Action Plans go to www.allergy.org.au/hp/anaphylaxis/action-plans-for-allergic-reactions-faq
