Wasp Sting: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment and Prevention
-
Wasp stings are common, especially in the (late) summer. Female wasps use their sting to attack and defend themselves and may sting several times. The yellow and black insects are replete with poison so their stings cause significant pain and irritation. In general, the stings do not cause serious symptoms unless the person is allergic to the wasp venom. Medical assistance is always required in these situations. There are several home treatments for the mild swelling, redness, and pain that often occur after a wasp sting. Medical treatment is also sometimes necessary, especially in the case of severe allergic reactions. The prognosis is usually excellent in non-allergic patients, although complications sometimes arise. Various preventive measures make it possible to prevent wasps and wasp nests as much as possible.
