A toddler who was riding his toy car and hit a wasps nest was stung more than 150 times and is fighting for his life.<\/p>\n
Two-year-old Beckham Reed, who was born with one kidney, suffered the \u2018horrific accident\u2019 while playing in his backyard in Georgia. <\/p>\n
\u2018He was on his electric toy side by side riding around his property with his cousins,\u2019 states a GoFundMe page<\/a> to support him and his family.<\/p>\n \u2018He hit a yellow jackets nest and was swarmed head to toe.\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t His parents rushed him to a hospital, where he was given morphine and Benadryl and sent home after doctors found him appearing to breathe normally. <\/p>\n But less than 24 hours later, Beckham started turning yellow and his parents rushed him to the emergency room at Southeast Georgia Health System in Brunswick.<\/p>\n Doctors there recognized that Beckham was having multi-organ failure, including his kidney, heart and liver, and transferred him to an intensive care unit at Memorial Savannah, where he was put on dialysis, ventilator support and given IV medications to filter out toxins.<\/p>\n \u2018Due to his age and size and the amount of stings he had, his little body was unable to handle the amount of toxins in his body,\u2019 states the fundraising page.<\/p>\n \t\t \u2018His body is responding to the support and we continue to pray that his labs and organs improve.\u2019<\/p>\n It added that Beckham\u2019s medical experience was not common.<\/p>\n \u2018There is no antivenom for yellow jackets so all they can do is support his body while the toxins work their way out,\u2019 the page states. <\/p>\n Beckham\u2019s father, Peyton, grabbed his son as he was ambushed by the wasps and was stung himself. The toddler\u2019s mother, Mariah, is pregnant with her second child and the parents are not able to work while caring for Beckham. <\/p>\n The GoFundMe page had raised more than $36,000 as of Friday evening.<\/p>\n Beckham was stung nearly three years after a 20-year-old Ohio man who was stung 20,000 by bees<\/a> including 30 that he ingested while trimming trees woke up from a coma and survived.<\/p>\n Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk<\/a>.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n For more stories like this, <\/strong>check our news page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Arrow![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/SEI_257124876-f72a.jpg\")
