Swelling and Redness
Posterior to a bite from a European wasp, an allergic individual may encounter extensive skin inflation and reddening around the area of the sting. This symptom may persist longer than normal and may encompass a larger area than the sting site.
Difficulty Breathing
This symptom involves the individual having trouble breathing due to the potentially serious allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. This can lead to narrowing of the airways, causing wheezing and a sensation of tightness in the chest.
Rash or Hives
A rash or hives might emerge over the body. These are usually itchy, red, and can vary in size. The onset can occur immediately after the sting or may appear hours later.
Vomiting or Diarrhea
Vomiting and diarrhea are symptoms associated with a severe allergic reaction. These symptoms are typically accompanied by abdominal pain and discomfort.
Dizziness or Fainting
A severe allergic reaction from a European wasp sting can cause a drop in blood pressure, leading to symptoms such as dizziness and even fainting. The feeling of light-headedness is often accompanied by confusion and disorientation.
Severe Itching
Persistent and severe itching is common in individuals allergic to European wasp stings. Unlike the ordinary itching experienced after an insect bite, the itching from an allergic reaction can spread from the site of the sting across the body.
