]]> 97597 1 31 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/258559/31.jpg Run Run away as quickly as possible. Avoid swatting or crushing any bees, as this will only worsen the attack. Getting out of there as fast as you can is the best way to neutralize them. Run for at least 100 yards.

]]> 97598 2 42 Tip Don’t swat at the bees or wave your arms. Bees are attracted to movements.

]]> 97599 3 48 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/258559/48.jpg Protect your head As you run, pull your shirt over your head to protect your ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. If you can’t do that, use your hands to protect your face, leaving spaces between your fingers so you can see.

]]> 97600 4 60 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/258559/60.jpg Find shelter Immediately seek the shelter of a building or vehicle. A few bees might follow you indoors, but in a well-lit area the bees can become confused and head for a window.

]]> 97601 5 70 Tip Water does not count as shelter. The bees won’t swim, but they’ll probably still be waiting for you when you come up for air.

]]> 97602 6 77 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/258559/77.jpg Get the stingers out Once you reach safety, scrape the stingers out of your skin using your fingernails or any other flat, straight-edged surface. Never pull stingers out with your fingers or tweezers. That will just squeeze more venom into your skin.

]]> 97603 7 90 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/258559/90.jpg Clean the welts When the stingers are out, clean the welts with soap and water like you would any other wound.

]]> 97604 8 96 Fact The average person can safely tolerate 10 stings per pound of body weight.
