He confirmed swallowing a bee, in very rare cases, precipitating a heart attack, “but only through specific mechanisms.”
The main risk is not the act of swallowing itself, but of the possibility of a bees to the upper airway or the oropharynx (the part of the mouth that includes the back of the tongue, the tonsils and the soft palate), which can introduce the poison into the body, according to Kalra.

This syndrome can result from a coronary event (any adverse medical event related to coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart) that occurs in combination with anaphylactic or allergic reactions.
