Fear erupted this afternoon on the crowded Maladroxia beach in Sant'Antioco. A 17-year-old girl from Carbonia went into anaphylactic shock after being stung by a wasp.
According to witnesses, his condition quickly deteriorated: the emergency number 118 was immediately called. The operations center arranged for the intervention of the air ambulance, which, taking off from the Brotzu, arrived on the scene in a short time.
A doctor lowered himself with a winch among the swimmers and reached the seventeen-year-old: to help her, an injection of epinephrine was necessary , which slowed the progression of the shock.
After much fear, the girl recovered and did not even need to be taken to the hospital: the Areus helicopter took off again empty and with a life saved behind it.
