I’ve been stung once and the actual sting hurt a little bit but after that it just itched for a couple of hours.
Normally the paper wasps around here are totally chill but this one managed to get caught inside my shirt somehow and decided it was time to go to war.
As someone who has been stung dozens of times by probably at least a half dozen wasps and a few bees… The sting is incredibly variable.
I was doing some yardwork with my daughter and this nest must have been in a shrubby area we were tossing clippings into and one stung my hand and I saw one land on her ear and instantly grabbed her and ran. That was the worst sting I ever had felt and those buggers were small. Now my daughter is terrified of any pollinator.
I spent like 30 minutes icing my sting and she spent like 2 hours screaming with an inflammed ear as I attempted to help her ice it.
I am curious of there are different toxin types and different allergies… Like would those little buggers bring the same pain to everyone.
