However, if you’re allergic to bee stings or have been stung multiple times, bee stings can be problematic and even life-threatening.

When a bee stings you, it leaves behind a venomous toxin in your skin that can cause a minor irritation to most people, while other people are allergic to this toxin and it can cause more serious damage.
