Anyone of us could experience the allergic reactions to bee stings. The survey says that mostly of the people that die from the severe allergic reactions to bee stings every and each year than from snake bites, only small amount of people who suffer with bee stings which actually could suffer from fatal reactions and can end one's life and die.

The causes of these are; once the immune system develops antibodies and other disease fighting cells in response to an allergen, that an allergic reaction starts to develop. Our antibodies release chemicals that actually destroy the surrounding cells and lead to physical symptoms of an allergic reaction.

The antibodies discharge some histamine, which may impinge on the skin, mucous gland or membrane and even smooth muscle cells.

Typically the first sting doesn't produce severe reactions and multiple stings do. Only for someone who has severe allergic reactions to bee stings that experiencing extreme symptoms to a single bee sting.
