More than 200 ‘killer bees’ attack 81-year-old Oklahoma man for THREE hours after he fell and broke his hip

An elderly Oklahoma man was attacked by more than 200 deadly bees and was left writhing in pain for three hours after he fell and broke his hip trying to run away.

Carlos Amos, 81, was rescued by a heroic neighbor who rushed in to fight off the swarm of African bees and is now recovering in hospital.

He was mowing the lawn at his Maysville home last Friday when the vicious attack began as he tried to escape. Amos fell and broke his right hip.

Amos was stung all over his body for over three hours before a group of men came to his aid and one man took it upon himself to fight the bees and called 911.

The doctor who treated him at Norman Regional Hospital said she had never treated a patient with so much extreme stinging and it could be life-threatening as the swelling can block the airways.

Amos was stabbed in the ears, nose, lips, and even one eye during the attack, and the hospital removed more than 200 stings from his body.

“I took out a tissue, put it in this ear, and more came in this ear, so I took those out when I put the tissues in, and then they were in my nose,” he told the local television station KOCO 5 News.

“I was there about three hours, but a guy from Burford Company showed up, and the first thing I did was ask him your name, and he said, ‘Oh my god, they’re stabbing me now.'”

The older man was lucky that his airways had not begun to close due to the swelling from the attack.

Savannah Phillips, a general practitioner at Norman Regional Emergency Department, said: ‘And that’s the care. You may have so much swelling that your airway begins to close that you can no longer breathe on your own.

“For example, we’re looking to see if his voice would change if he can’t tolerate swallowing water.”

Amos had hip surgery the day after the attack and has now been transferred to another facility for rehabilitation.

His family cannot return home until the bees’ nest near their chimney is removed.

And Amos’ daughter Heather Garvey has one GoFundMe page to raise money for the medical bills, therapy, and help remove her father’s litter.

She wrote: “He was home alone and there was no one to help. A Good Samaritan found my father and called 911.

“After all this he is in good spirits, but it will be a long road to recovery. He will need therapy to get back on his feet.

“The beehive must be removed before he can even go home.”

Nearly $5,000 has been raised for Amos and his family in the past three days so far.
