I live in Central PA where a young child died from a bacterial infection.  The bacteria, according to the
Department of Environmental Protection (PA division) came from a bee sting.
I know that bees can carry bacteria on their body but can a sting cause the bacterial infection.
We, in the area, believe that the bacteria came from the biosolid dumping that occurred at that time in the reclaiming of the strip mines in that area.  Does anyone have any information on this subject
or could you lead me to a source that might.
Any help you could give would be appreciated.
