FAQs

Who needs training on killer bees, wasps and spiders?

Training on killer bees, wasps and spiders is for outdoor workers such as landscapers, groundskeepers, farmworkers, utility crews, construction workers and pest control technicians. Workers who enter sheds, crawl spaces, meter boxes or storage areas where spiders hide, and anyone with a known sting allergy, also benefit.

What makes killer bees more dangerous than honey bees?

Africanized killer bees are more dangerous than European honey bees because they defend their colonies far more aggressively. They also sting in much larger numbers and chase threats over longer distances. Their venom is not stronger, sting for sting. Most serious killer bee injuries come from mass stinging attacks or allergic reactions.

What should you do if killer bees attack?

If killer bees attack, run away in a straight line and get inside a closed building or vehicle as quickly as possible. Pull your shirt over your face to protect your eyes and airway while running. Do not swat at the bees or jump into water, because they will wait for you to surface.

Which spider bites are dangerous in the United States?

The black widow and brown recluse are the main US spiders whose bites can cause serious illness. Black widow venom affects the nervous system and can cause severe muscle cramps, while brown recluse bites can destroy skin tissue. Anyone with a suspected bite from either spider should get medical care.

When is a bee or wasp sting a medical emergency?

A bee or wasp sting is a medical emergency when the person shows signs of anaphylaxis. These include trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, spreading hives, dizziness or fainting. Many stings at once are also dangerous. Call 911 and use a prescribed epinephrine auto-injector. The 37-minute video is available in English.
