You and a friend are walking through a field. Your friend is stung by a bee. What should you do? Watch your friend for signs of an allergic reaction b leave your friend in the field until they feel better c immediately give your friend a shot of epinephrine d call 911 so they can rush your friend to the emergency room
The correct answer is to watch your friend for signs of an allergic reaction. If your friend experiences symptoms such as hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or a drop in blood pressure, they may be experiencing anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction. If this happens, administer an epinephrine auto-injector if available and seek emergency medical assistance by calling 911. It's always a good idea to carry an epinephrine auto-injector if you know that you are allergic to bee stings or other allergens.
