Construction worker dies after being stung by a swarm of bees ”as soon as he opens his lunch” (South Korea)

A worker in his 50s was stung to death by a swarm of bees while eating lunch at a road construction site in Cheongju, South Korea.
According to the Cheongju Eastern Fire Station on the 7th, at around 12:25 p.m. on the same day, construction work on a road in Munui-myeon, Cheongju-si occurred.
Seven of the nine workers at the site were attacked by a swarm of more than 10 bees, which reportedly gathered as soon as they opened their lunch boxes during their break.
Mr. A, a man in his 50s, was stung on the head by a bee and taken to the hospital in a state of cardiac arrest, but eventually died of anaphylactic shock (an allergic hypersensitivity reaction).
The remaining six were also treated at a nearby hospital. One worker in the police investigation said, "There were always a lot of bees at the work site, but this time, as soon as I opened my lunch, a swarm of bees flew at me.
According to the Gyeonggi Province Fire and Disaster Prevention Headquarters on the 5th of this month, the number of patients who were stung by bees nationwide in the past three years was 21,556.
Thirty-three people died from anaphylactic shock caused by bee stings. Anaphylactic shock is a condition that occurs when the skin turns pale, causes hives, breathing difficulties, and swelling of the tongue and neck.
In severe cases, anaphylactic shock can cause death within an hour. Therefore, even if you don't have any symptoms after being stung by a bee, you may be suffering from hypersensitivity shock.
In preparation for the onset of the disease, patients must visit a hospital for treatment.
