To most people a wasp sting is just a painful nuisance, but a very small number of people suffer a severe allergic reaction to the sting.
The worst reaction is anaphylactic shock where blood vessels dilate, leading to low blood pressure, and tissues swell in the throat leading to difficulty with breathing. Left untreated, anaphylactic shock can lead to death in a matter of minutes.
Anyone who is known to be hypersensitive should carry an epipen, a pre-loaded automatic syringe which will give an injection of epinephrin to counter the effects of anaphylaxis if stung. They would then require hospital treatment.

∙ 15y agoIndeed they can. If one is allergic to bees and are atacked by a hive they may be killed. But if one isn't and a hive atacks one, then I would rush him/her to the hospital quickly, one doesn't always know if they shall or shall not survive.Either way, by the amount of bee's one is atacked by there may be swelling around the mouth or the neck or nose,and maybe even eyes. This could lead to a lose of air in one's lungs and could lead to suffication.That could go for anyone, so I recomend go to a nearby doctor's office and get checked for any allergic reactions to anything.

Is it possible to clap-kill a wasp without getting bitten?
Wasps don't bite, they sting (other end of the body). If you try to clap-kill a wasp -- and if you get the wasp exactly in line with your hands -- you might be successful.
