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.
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.
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 and diarrhea are symptoms associated with a severe allergic reaction. These symptoms are typically accompanied by abdominal pain and discomfort.
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.
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.
Recognize your symptoms?
To establish whether you have an allergy to the sting of the European wasp, you may need to observe any abnormal reactions post sting, and possibly arrange for an allergy test. Follow the steps below to recognize if you have a European Wasp allergy.

Most wasp stings occur when humans accidentally disturb a nest. As such, one of the best ways to avoid an allergy reaction is by staying clear of areas known for wasp infestation. Always check your surroundings when embarking on outdoor activities, and exercise caution in environments where wasps are likely to build their nests, such as in trees, attics, or underground burrows.
Wearing long-sleeved tops, long pants, socks, and shoes can help encounter fewer wasp stings. Bright colors and floral prints may attract wasps, so opt for light-colored clothing. If you must be in an area where wasps are present, consider wearing a protective suit.
Wasps are attracted to food, so it's essential to practice good waste disposal habits. Always keep garbage cans sealed and immediately clean up any outdoor areas where food was consumed. Limiting the availability of food can lower the likelihood of wasps getting attracted to your space.
If you notice a wasps' nest near your home, it's advisable to seek professional help for safe removal. Trying to remove it by yourself can provoke the insects and lead to multiple stings. Professionals have the right equipment and expertise to safely and efficiently eliminate a wasp infestation.
