Healthy man left disabled after bee sting
A man from the UK was left disabled after being stung by a bee.
A healthy man, who had never suffered from allergies in his life, suddenly fell into a coma after being stung by a bee and died without regaining consciousness.
In October 2021, a man complained to his wife that he felt unwell after being stung by a bee on the street.
Paramedics restored his heartbeat, but prolonged oxygen deprivation caused severe anoxic brain damage, Metro reports.
Although the man managed to avoid brain death, after being discharged from the hospital he was still completely unaware of what was happening around him.
The man remained in a wheelchair, unable to move his limbs or speak. He spent most of his time with his eyes closed, in a vegetative state.
Five months after the accident, a doctor told his family that the man was not improving cognitively and was deteriorating physically.
He will never be able to truly recover, the doctor sadly stated.
After five months of caring for her husband on her own, the woman decided to place him in a hospice.
After 22 days in a special medical facility, the 35-year-old man died.
For reference
Allergy is a hypersensitivity of the body developed by the adaptive immune system.
