  /AB     On  average,  each  sting  of  an Africanized honey 
     bee inoculates 10-50 micro g of venom. The number of 
     stings necessary to cause the death of the victim  is 
     usually  about  300-500,  but  in hypersensitive 
     individuals a single  sting  can  be  fatal. In Mexico 
     about 198 deaths have so far been attributed to 
     Africanized bee stings. In the state of San Luis Potosi, 
     880 incidents of bee stings and 13 deaths were recorded 
     between 1989 and 1994, and  these  are believed to 
     represent about one-third of the actual numberof cases. 
     Clinical manifestations are variable and include pain, 
     pruritus, oedema,  lymphadenopathy  and, particularly 
     in adults, anaphylactic shock. The  latter  can  produce 
     vasculitis,  kidney  failure  and encephalitis. 
     Treatment   depends   on   the   symptoms   and  includes 
     antihistamines, vasopressors, oxygen therapy and 
     bronchodilators.  8 ref.
