A seven-year-old Saudi boy died after he was bitten by a wasp while playing outside his house in the Gulf Kingdom, a newspaper reported on Monday.

Shafi Abdullah suffered from allergy and fainted as his family rushed him to hospital but he died on the way, Sabq Arabic language daily said.

“There was a delay in reaching the hospital because of the rugged area…this led to the spread of the poison in the boy’s body and resulted in his death,” the paper said in a report from the southern town of Belgarn.
