Stinging insects are responsible for a number of hospital visits every year. This is because many people are allergic to them, and when left untreated, stings can actually get infected. Without bee removal in Portland you may encounter stinging insects much more than you would like this spring. Bees are finally out of hibernation, and it won’t be long before you see them regularly flitting from flower to flower. There are some indications that can help you determine if you are allergic when stung by an insect. If you have any of these reactions, seek help immediately and call 911 if any of the following occur or the sting is in the throat, nose, or mouth.
