蜜蜂和黄蜂叮咬是一种不常见的死亡原因。 在一项回顾性研究中，在瑞典10年期间，由于有毒动物造成的所有死亡，我们发现19人死于黄蜂，1人死于蜜蜂，但没有人死于蛇咬伤。 因此，年发病率为每百万居民0.2例。 大多数死者年龄在50岁以上，有潜在的心血管疾病，而以前昆虫叮咬后的严重反应并不常见。 刺的数量并不是一个重要的因素。 症状和死亡发生后几分钟内刺痛。 在大多数情况下，尸检结果没有特异性。 虽然不常见，致命的昆虫叮咬的可能性应考虑在夏季发生在户外的无人目睹的死亡。
Bee and wasp stings represent an uncommon cause of death. In a retrospective study of all fatalities due to venomous animals in Sweden during a 10-year-period, we found 19 fatalities due to wasps, 1 due to bees but none due to snake bite. This gives an annual incidence of 0.2 per million inhabitants. Most of the deceased were older than 50 years and had an underlying cardiovascular disease while previous severe reactions after insect stings were uncommon. The number of stings was not a factor of importance. Symptoms and death occurred within minutes after the sting. The autopsy findings were in most cases non-specific. Although uncommon, the possibility of a fatal insect sting should be considered in unwitnessed deaths occurring outdoors in summertime.
