加拿大女鎮長踩到蜂窩 被蟄身亡

The mayor of a Montreal bedroom community who was enjoying a weekend in the country has died of anaphylactic shock after wasps attacked her with repeated stings.
一名蒙特利爾近郊小鎮鎮長在鄉下度週末時被黃蜂反覆蟄咬後因過敏性休克身亡。

Lucie F. Roussel, the mayor of La Prairie, was near her cottage in the Eastern Townships Sunday when she stepped on a wasps’ nest, and was stung repeatedly. A friend said she suffered at least 15 stings. Ms. Roussel, 51, was transported from her cottage near Stratford to hospital in Thetford Mines, Que., where she was pronounced dead.
週日，La Prairie鎮長Lucie F. Roussel在她位於鎮東的別墅附近踩到了蜂窩，被黃蜂蟄咬多次。她的一名朋友說她被蟄了至少15次。51歲的Roussel被從Stratford附近的別墅送到位於Thetford Mines的醫院，不治身亡。

Colleagues on city council in the community just west of Montreal and other friends said they were not aware she suffered from allergies. But a neighbour in Stratford said she was indeed allergic to venom from bee and wasp stings but did not have an epinephrine injector with her to counteract anaphylactic shock.
市議會的同事和其他朋友表示並不知道她有過敏史。但Stratford的一名鄰居說她確實對蜜蜂和黃蜂的毒液過敏，可當時並未隨身攜帶治療過敏性休克的腎上腺素注射器。

Ms. Roussel leaves an 18-year-old daughter, Constance, and a 19-year-old son, Antonin. Before she entered politics, Ms. Roussel practised law in partnership with her husband, Yvon Lemay. He died of a heart attack in December, 2009, at age 47.
Roussel女士留下了1名18歲的女兒Constance和一名19歲的兒子Antonin。在從政前，她和丈夫Yvon Lemay是律師合夥人。她的丈夫與2009年12月因心臟病去世，享年47歲。

About 2 per cent of the population suffer from allergies to the venom from bees, wasps and hornets.
約2%的人對蜜蜂、黃蜂和馬蜂的毒液過敏。

Many people aren’t aware they are allergic, experts say.
專家表示，大多數人並不知道他們對此過敏。
