A wasp/hornet/yellow jacket can sting you multiple times because it has a smooth stinger unlike homeybees which have barbed stingers. In most of the cases, there is no sti ger present in the place where the wasp has stung you. However, multiple wasp stings can be fatal and nees immediate medical attention.
Mosquitoes, biting midges, bedbugs, ticks and fleas will make a meal of us given the opportunity. And it isnât the pain or annoyance of the bite but our bodies' reactions that often cause greater problems. Biting insects are different to stinging insects. The former primarily cause allergic reactions due to the saliva they inject when feeding, while stinging insects (such as ants, bees and wasps) inject venom when they bite. Insect venom causes pain and swelling at the site of the sting and may cause anaphylaxis. Reactions can be quite severe and include urticaria, nausea, vomiting, hypo-tension, respiratory problems and, in very rare cases, death.
