What happens if stung by a hornet?

Answer 1

Unlike most bee species which can only sting once before dying, a wasp can inflict multiple stings. A wasp does not die after stinging (naturally that is).

Depending on the species and the victim's tolerance level, the wasp venom may result in minor burning, itching to extreme swelling which will subside in a few days. Those with allergic reactions may require hospitalization and with more severe reactions, fatalities have been known to occur.

Answer 2

It hurts. Muscles will pump poison through the stinger into your skin from the poison sac, and may even continue pumping if the muscles are still attached when the bee leaves, which is why you should take out the stinger immediately.

It can also hurt the bee even more. If a worker honeybee stings you, its stinger's barbs will keep the stinger lodged inside your skin, and the only way for the bee to leave is to rip the stinger from its abdomen, which will rip apart some internal organs, and fly away somewhere to die.

Bumblebees, on the other hand, do not have barbs on their stingers, so they can easily pull out their stinger and sting you multiple times. Drones, however, are of no threat to you, because they don't have stingers.

Answer 3

Yellow Jackets, unlike bees, do not have barbed stingers and can sting you multiple times.

They have a lance-like stinger with small barbs and typically sting repeatedly, though occasionally the stinger becomes lodged and pulls free of the wasp's body.

Answer 4

Unless you are allergic to the sting, one sting causes a sharp pain for maybe 10 minutes. Once before cars had air conditioners, a hornet flew in the open window of my car while I was driving and flew down the back of my shirt. It stung me once before I could crush it between my back and the back of the car seat. I was able to keep my eyes on the road the whole time and did not have to stop the car.
