Unraveling inflammation triggered by bee stings

Bee venom can trigger harmful inflammatory reactions, and approximately 3% of the pop- j ulation in the United States J alone is known to be allergic to bee stings, which kill nearly 100 people every year through anaphylactic shock. Noah Palm and Ruslan Medzhitov (pp. 1809-1814) explored the mechanisms through which the venom of the European honey bee triggers inflammation, often marked by pain, redness, heat, and swelling around the site of the sting.
