A bee or wasp sting could generate the death of the victim in case one is allergic to their venom. The apiculturists say that during this period the risk of bees or wasps attacks is extremely increased because the insects are agitated because of temperature fluctuations. On his turn, the coordinating-doctor of the Emergency Service in Chisinau, Eufalia Negreata, says that the bees or wasps’ victims must see as quickly as possible a doctor, because they can die if they are allergic to the poison. The first thing to do in such cases, Eufalia Negreata says that, regardless of the place the stung victim is to remove the sting, which injects the venom. Afterwards that spot must be treated with ammoniac, or water with salt or vinegar. In order to diminish the risk of an allergy and of a possible shock it is recommended to see a doctor immediately.
