Employee was tending to MSHA inspector requests as EE was visiting the site. EE went to throw an item in the trash can and when EE lifted the lid, a bee/wasp flew out and stung EE. EE had an allergic reaction which EE never had before in EE's life, causing another EE to call 911. EE was in the ER of about 2 hours then released and then came back to work.
