Wasps and Hornets

Are You Allergic to Stinging Venom from Wasps, Hornets, etc.

Wasp, hornet and yellow jacket stings can be life-threatening if you are allergic to the venom. Some people will develop hives or have difficulty breathing or swallowing.  They may also experience wheezing or similar symptoms of allergic reaction and should seek medical attention immediately.

Itching, pain and localized swelling can be somewhat reduced with antihistamines and a cold compress. Do not use antihistamines unless directed by a physician.

HORNETS


Hornets are one of the largest of the stinging insects.

They build their nests in spring often in hollows of felled trees. 

Adult hornets often feed on nectar and sugar rich plant foods.
