🐝 Did you know bee stings are the biggest culprits for venomous encounters? According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, they caused over a quarter of 3,500 hospitalisations in 2017–18, mainly due to allergic reactions.*

If you get stung, remember to:

1️⃣ Scrape the stinger out with a flat object like a credit card.
2️⃣ Wash the area with soap and water.
3️⃣ Apply ice wrapped in a cloth for 20 minutes as needed.

Consider antihistamines or cortisone cream for swelling and itching. If pain persists or redness expands, seek medical advice quickly.

Stay safe! 🌼✨
