YUMA, Ariz. — An 81-year-old Arizona woman is recovering after being attacked by hundreds of bees.
A spokesman for the Yuma Fire Department says when paramedics arrived Monday, they found the woman sitting on a sidewalk covered in the insects. The department says she was stung multiple times on her face and body.
Firefighters sprayed the woman with a foam mixture to remove most of the bees and keep them back while moving the victim. Paramedics began treating her immediately and she was transported to a hospital.
Some of the rescuers were also stung by angry bees.
The Yuma Sun reports a witness said the woman was taking out the trash when the bees attacked.
