A member asked:

Is it bad to have numbness where a bee has stung you (foot)? what should i do if the bee sting area is numb?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nerve: This may be due to some superficial nerve damage or inflammation from the bite. If so, I suspect the nerve will recover full function after some weeks.

Dr Juchau and another doctor agreed
