I got stung by a bee today....?
I think I've stepped on a bee before, but probably over 15 years ago. I got stung by my shoulder blade this morning. My question is, how long is the pheromone released into the air from the bee sting? If I go out again today, am I still giving off the pheromone that might attract other bees to me? I don't want to get stung again. If the pheromone is still being released the bees might react? I've researched it and cannot seem to find the answer to this question. Forgive my ignorance, this is my first real bee sting. Thanks
my husband removed the stinger less than 30 seconds after the bee stung me. It landed on my back and I felt something crawling, my first reaction was to swipe at it.... and so it goes. I already took a shower and no, I didn't have an allergic reaction.

You don't need to worry about being attracted to other bees. Just make sure you're not allergic to bee stings. Being that you're asking a question about bee stings, you should be ok as far as being allergic. You don't have any higher % of being stung again just because you've already been stung. Just make sure the stinger is out.

Thephermones are released by the stinger and the sack attached. Once you successfully remove the stinger and wash the area you should be fine. Make sure you ice it to reduce swelling.

You don't mean wasps right? My grandpa owned a bee farm. I got stung on my head before. Don't worry, if you aren't alergic and you don't live near a place inhabited by many bees you will be fine.

the stinger in no way is going in area the exterior except for the end and it must be poking out the position it stung you and the white difficulty is the typically the venom sack till on your case you immune device struggling with the pollution the stinger is a touch black element and in simple terms positioned a cold compress on it and word if it is going down the swelling and if no longer bypass to the wellbeing facility

I only get stung once at a time. I think you're no more likely to be stung again, than you were the first time.
