A 55-year-old Swiss tourist was rushed to the Policlinico di Monserrato hospital for anaphylactic shock caused by a wasp sting.

The rescue was carried out on the Morto beach, in Domus de Maria. The operators of the Chia summer station were on site and provided first aid. But the Areus helicopter also had to intervene. The point where the tourist was located is difficult to reach on foot and the man suffers from difficult mobility conditions: he has a prosthetic leg and is missing an arm.

He was taken aboard the emergency helicopter using a winch and then transferred to the ambulance, which left for the Policlinico.

According to initial information, the fifty-five-year-old is not in danger of life.
