Wasps are known as flying insects that are present all over the world and we all know them for their dangerous stings. With their sting, female wasps inject a powerful venom that can make any human drowsy. They are found in various types, but most of them are not harmful. In this article, you will learn more about this little insect.

When wasp bites, most stings cause itching or pain for a day or two, and swelling can last up to a week. Bees and bumblebees sting only if they are provoked. However, wasps can be more aggressive and sting more than once. 

Wasp Sting

As previously indicated, it is only female wasps that produce stings, as they are the ones that have a sting. It is a small but dangerous organ that enables them to poison their victims when they defend themselves or defend their nests and colonies. Because of this, it is advised that people stay away from wasp nests and make these insects less troubling.

Symptoms

A bee or wasp sting can cause many reactions. Bites can range from temporary pain and discomfort to a severe allergic reaction. Having one type of reaction does not mean that every time you are stung, the next reaction will necessarily be more severe.

• red rash at the sting site

• This swelling and pain get better within a few hours.

 Severe allergic reaction

A severe reaction to a bee or wasp sting can be life-threatening and requires immediate emergency treatment. However, a small number of people develop anaphylaxis following a bee or wasp sting or other insect stings. Its severe allergic reactions are as follows:

A bee or wasp sting causes a prickly sting on the skin. Bee sting venom contains proteins that affect skin cells and the immune system, causing pain and inflammation around the sting area. People who are allergic to bee stings can have severe reactions to bee sting venom.
