Pop legend unrecognisable after bee sting
Irish pop legend Brian McFadden has been left with a swollen face after being stung by a bee, and has joked about how it looks like he received free botox and fillers.
The former Australian Idol judge shared a series of posts to his Instagram showing how badly swollen his face became after a bee sting.
The 42-year-old’s first post was a video of himself singing I’m Sexy And I Know It by LMFAO while laying in a hospital bed.
“Stung by a bee and got an allergic reaction!! Owning that look! Free Botox and fillers!!!!!” his caption read as he laughed.
In his next post, he shared photos from different angles showing massive lips and a swollen eye.
He explained that the reaction from the bee sting was ongoing.
Finally, his third post showed a selfie after his face had finally calmed down from the unfortunate incident.
“My face is calming down again. Thanks for all your lovely messages,” he wrote.
Allergies to venoms caused by a stinging insect such as a bee, ant or wasp is known to cause an anaphylactic reaction.
The most common symptoms include an all over rash, swelling of tongue or throat, trouble breathing, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, vomiting and a drop in blood pressure (shock).
What to do if you are stung by a bee
-
Remove the sting by sliding or scraping your fingernail across it, rather than pulling at it.
-
Wash the area and apply ice to reduce the swelling.
-
If the person goes into anaphylactic shock the only treatment is an injection of adrenaline.
-
Immobilise the person, apply pressure to the bite and seek immediate medical help.
