Allergic reaction
Lower Austrian man died after insect bite
A young father from Lower Austria died on Friday as a result of an insect bite. He had suffered an allergic reaction and was taken to hospital.
However, all help came too late for the man from Neulengbach. As the Niederösterreichische Nachrichten reported online, the father of the family was in his early 30s. The whole community was shocked. "Everyone is shocked. It's so sad," said Mayor Jürgen Rummel. He announced support for the family of the deceased.
It was not initially known which insect had bitten the man. Up to four percent of Austrians are allergic to bees and wasps, and some are also allergic to hornets. Hundreds have to be treated in emergency rooms after being stung across the country every summer.
Symptoms of allergic shock
Typical symptoms of allergic shock include itching, hives, swelling of the face and neck, nausea and vomiting, palpitations and dizziness. If you notice these signs, you should act quickly and call the emergency services. It is also vital for allergy sufferers to carry emergency medication with them.
