Kunst mentions a man of thirty-six who received several bee-stings while taking some honey from a tree, fell from the tree unconscious, and for some time afterward exhibited signs of cerebral congestion.

Chaumeton mentions a young man who did not perceive a wasp in a glass of sweet wine, and swallowed the insect.

He was stung in the throat, followed by such intense inflammation that the man died asphyxiated in the presence of his friends, who could do nothing to relieve him.

In connection with this case there is mentioned an English agriculturist who saved the life of one of his friends who had inadvertently swallowed a wasp with a glass of beer.

Alarming symptoms manifested themselves at the moment of the sting.
