Dr. Franklin D. Yoder of the Illinois Public Health Department warns that stings from bees wasps hornets and yellow jackets can kill susceptible individuals and may account for deaths attributed to heart failure or heat prostration. Children are especially vulnerable and should be taught sting avoidance. Remove stingers promptly and apply cold packs. Consider preventive treatment for those with strong reactions. Also noted is Perfection Secret Lady, a Jersey cow at SIU Dairy Center producing 13,810 pounds of milk in a 305 day period, exceeding the national average.
