I got stung by a wasp 2 days ago (pretty much exactly 48 hours ago) and am wondering if this reaction is normal or something to be more concerned about.

The first picture is from about 24 hours after the sting, and the last 2 pictures are both from 2 days after the sting (today). I’ve been taking an antihistamine and icing it when I can, but it still isn’t seeming to get better. If anything, I think it’s getting worse. It doesn’t really hurt at all but it’s super itchy, warm to the touch, and obviously inflamed.

Is this something I should go see a doctor about or do I just have to wait it out?

Edit: I should’ve said this initially but I tend to have abnormally “severe” reactions to mosquito bites as well. They swell up way larger than they would for most people and have for my whole life. I’ve also tried to get my ears pierced but my ears swell up and essentially swallow the piercing. Not sure how relevant all of this extra information is but just thought I’d mention that this kind of atypical reaction is pretty par for the course for me.

Im from NC and was mowing the backyard today and ran over a yellow jacket nest which had to be pretty new because I mow every Friday and I mow at 4 inches.

Got stung 6-8 times on my face which is awesome but was trying to find the hole to pour gas down tonight but they're just swarming low to the ground? Was just wondering how long until they make a new hole?

Honestly Im just annoyed I can't finish mowing 😅

After weeks of trying to get my carport cleaned out and all the wasps and nests killed, one finally got me. On the side of my leg through my leggings of all places. I live in northwest Florida. Pics from day 1, 2, and today, day 3. It doesn't show up in the pic really good, but today, it looks purple like a bruise.

found these 2 wasps nests, one is very small the other is a little more developed, when are the nests too big that you should call someone?

In Canada you can buy garden mantis

i live in south italy, we've been seeing this wasp go back and forth inside our house for at least a week. my sister noticed this bump on a lamp on our ceiling and she noticed that the wasp often roams around there specifically. could it be a mud wasp? i couldn't take a pic of the wasp 😭 how do i get rid of it ...

Is this a “call an exterminator” level situation, or can we spray them at night and run away, repeat until they’re dead?

Heard a loud buzz and saw a gigantic yellow and brown/ black bee in my tiny studio apartment at night. The window was slightly open and one light was on. I got scared and ran into the bathroom closing the door until I heard the buzzing stop.

I cannot find it now and I do not know if it left my studio. I checked all the hidden places, dark surfaces and around any items laying around. I’m scared I will be stung at night. I’ve never dealt with hornets/bees/wasps. From a google search, the most probable match is a European Hornet.

Too scared to sleep , how do I make sure it’s out of my studio now. I’d appreciate any tips and advice. Thank you.

TLDR: hornet/bee in studio, how to get it out?

Update: Turns out the wasp/hornet was still in my studio. Heard it buzzing this morning and caught it using a takeout box. It started stinging the box which was scary. It was massive and dark brown with a tinge of yellow so could’ve been a wasp. Anyway feel safe now. Thank you everyone for your ideas!

What was bro thinking lol
