Their mean age was 48.2 \u00b1 11.5 years. The mean beekeeping duration was 15.3 \u00b1 10.5 years. A total of 270 participants (89.9%) had a history of bee stings in the previous 12 months. Systemic reactions, large local reactions, and local reactions were seen in 21 (6.9%), 193 (64.1%), and 12 (4.0%) beekeepers, respectively. The face was the most frequently stung body site, and swelling generally occurred in the eyelids. The size of the swellings decreased within 12 to 24 hours in 259 (86.1%) beekeepers. The size of the swellings was 1 \u00d7 2 cm in diameter in 157 (52.2%) beekeepers. Natural protection against bee stings had developed by 12 months in 140 (46.5%) beekeepers. In total, 61.5% of the beekeepers applied alternative treatments (eg, garlic, onion water, yogurt), whereas 14.0% (3\/21) were admitted to a hospital with a systemic reaction. In total, 10.6% and 14.2% of beekeepers were aware of adrenaline auto\u2010injector and venom immunotherapy, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study indicates insufficient knowledge and attitudes among Turkish beekeepers regarding bee sting reactions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/alr.21314","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,25]],"date-time":"2014-03-25T14:46:39Z","timestamp":1395758799000},"page":"555-558","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Characteristics of venom allergic reactions in Turkish beekeepers and alternative treatment modalities"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Mehmet Halil","family":"\u00c7el\u0131ksoy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ondokuz May\u0131s University Faculty of Medicine Department of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology  Samsun Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Recep","family":"Sancak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ondokuz May\u0131s University Faculty of Medicine Department of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology  Samsun Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ayhan","family":"S\u00f6\u011f\u00fct","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ondokuz May\u0131s University Faculty of Medicine Department of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology  Samsun Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u015e\u00fckr\u00fc Nail","family":"G\u00fcner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Necmettin Erbakan University Meram Faculty of Medicine Department of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology  Konya Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Korkmaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Provincial Directorate of Food Agriculture and Livestock Department of Beekeeping  Samsun Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaci.2007.01.021"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2222.1998.00411.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1157\/13094024"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0091-6749(84)90405-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2222.1997.tb00727.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anai.2010.11.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1081-1206(10)63342-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","unstructured":"F\u0131ratl\u0131C KaracaogluM GencerHV KocA.Assessments and recommendations for beekeeping in Turkey.2005.
