Two teenaged brothers were on Wednesday afternoon attacked by Africanised bees at Sophia, after one of them threw a stone at a nest and unleashed a swarm upon themselves.
Shawn Gonzales 17 and John Gonsalves, 15, of Lot 255 D’Urban Street, were rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital for treatment for the more than 50 stings that they each received on their faces and their heads.
Both teens were discharged the next day. The bee stings were not life threatening but left the boys complaining about headaches and pain in the areas where they were stung.
They had gone to Sophia to drop a younger brother and a younger sister to lessons. As they were in the area, they then decided to check on their family’s 499 Section ‘A’ Sophia house, which is being renovated.
