Wasps are members of the order Hymenoptera. They are social insects, living together in large groups called colonies. Wasps range in size from very small to relatively large, with a few species (like Cicada killer wasps) being larger than some true social insects. Most adult wasps are winged, with slender bodies and sizable heads. They can be identified by the fact that they have two pairs of wings, with the front or ‘anterior’ pair being larger than the rear or ‘posterior’ pair. A bee or wasp sting can hurt. It may be little pain, but it will all add up over time if you aren’t prepared before the incident takes place. After a few days, the stinger that was left in your skin digs deeper into your body which can cause more pain, and swelling. So the key to avoiding these nasty symptoms is knowing how to deal with a sting right away. A wasp can sting people — and other animals — with its stinger, the organ that carries venom. The venom itself makes the sting hurt and causes the skin to become swollen, red, and painful. Although wasps usually leave their victims alone once they have delivered their sting, some individuals may experience prolonged pain or even allergic reactions to a wasp’s venom. Follow a few tips below to ease the pain of a wasp sting on your skin and protect yourself from an allergic reaction to soften the blow of a scary and painful experience. We all know that a wasp sting hurts, but how long does it take for the pain to go away? I can say from personal experience that the pain can really vary. It’s important, however, to know that there are ways to make the pain associated with a wasp sting hurt less. • Take an antihistamine. antihistamines stop wasp stings from swelling, which helps to relieve the pain and itching that often follows a sting. Some common antihistamines include Benadryl and Chlor-Trimeton. If you have an allergy to sulfa drugs, it is best not to take antihistamines in tablet form, as they contain sulfites.

One way to do this is by using a credit card or piece of paper and scraping it off your skin, but if you’re not sure if it has been removed properly, then use a pair of tweezers and pull out any remaining stinger.

Washing the area with warm water and soap is the best thing you can do. Use a mild soap, as this will remove any dirt that may have gotten into the wound. Make sure you wash the area thoroughly, and then wash it several times more to make sure all of the venom has been removed. Do not use alcohol or hydrogen peroxide on wasp stings, as these products are too harsh for your skin and could cause further irritation or infection. You should also avoid using iodine, toothpaste or creams made specifically for removing stings from bees and wasps—these products can be too strong for people with sensitive skin!
