Mangaluru: Bee attack claims life of newspaper distributor


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (MS)

Mangaluru, Nov 29: Newspaper distributor Pushparaja Shetty (45), who sustained severe injuries in a bee attack, succumbed to his injuries on Thursday at a hospital in Mangaluru.

Pushparaja was attacked by a swarm of bees on Wednesday morning while walking at Kenjaru Taangadi under Bajpe town panchayat limits.

He was immediately admitted to a hospital for treatment but could not survive the ordeal.

Fondly known as ‘Boggu’ in the Porkodi area, Pushparaja was well-known for his dedication to delivering newspapers on foot to every household. He was admired for his generosity, as he often distributed sweets to schoolchildren on Independence Day using his own earnings and contributed part of his income to the betterment of society.

Pushparaja was unmarried and is survived by three brothers and one sister.

    IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE BASIC KNOWLEDGE (MEDICAL SCIENCE) -- rather than believe primitive mindset and quacks------ and simply write off a person that he will die - from Bee attacks --- without giving due medical aid-- ---and a small extract on Bee stings ---- in 1962, Johann Relleke survived a bee attack that saw 2,443 stingers removed from his body. Surviving more bee stings than this is certainly not likely, as one recent bee attack victim who did not have a venom allergy died almost immediately after sustaining 3,000 bee stings. According to the Merck Manual, a human can sustain 10 bee stings for each pound of body weight. Therefore, the average adult should be able to survive around 1,000 bee stings, while a child could survive 500. People who have an allergy to insect venom can die from anaphylactic shock from just one single bee sting. However, an adult that does not have an allergy to insect venom can sustain hundreds or even thousands of stings without dying from the venom’s toxic effects

    No proper first aid -- Stabilizing the patient etc. -- Since this is a regular occurrence -- BEE ATTACKS -- ----there should be medical protocols set by doctors -- hospitals -- if required immediate ICU -- actually it is a matter of a few hours -- or one or two days of stability -- check all vital parameters and suitable medication --/ Resuscitation---- --Possibly his life could have been saved -- All now one can say RIP --

    Hejjenu bite is lethal within minutes and with not known antidots... Patient can survive if bites are limited below 3... This was a multiple attack and chances of survival is but a miracle... Good human is also not spared from painful end... RIP to the noble soul....
