Default I got stung by a bee earlier... is my ankle ok??

I got stung by a bee in the ankle earlier(prob about 2-3pm). It hurt for about 10min and then was fine. Now it looks like its getting swollen, is a light red shade, and slightly hurts when I walk... should I be worried? or is this normal? I havent gotten stung by a bee since 7th grade.

Get your foot amputated before it spreads to the rest of your body.

-You got to catch the bee that stung you.
-Go to the doctor with it, then he will overnight it to a pharmaceutical lab.
-There they will create an Anit-venom and overnight it back.
-Then go back to doctor, THEN they will amputate your foot, and give you the Anti-venom to stop the rest of the poison from spreading to the rest of your body.

ha people ask the most random stuff on ls1tech.

The spot where it was stung should swell up a little. If other parts around it start swelling up I think it would be safe to say its an allergic reaction... but I am no doctor.

lol I dont think killer bees are super venomous or anything. Its that they attack in groups... but maybe I am wrong, what do I know.

Nothing to be worried about. Sounds perfectly normal. The reason they're called killer bees is they're very aggressive and will attack in swarms.

^^ is it normal that it started to get swollen etc 8+hrs after a bee sting?

Thanks for calming my nerves a little bit though. I dont want to get my foot amputated.
