Why I am afraid of Wasps • They are poisonous • They are very big and scary looking • They can chase after you • They are fast so if you try to run they’ll sting you • When they sting you it hurts alot! • Their hives can have at least 100 wasps in them
Facts about Wasps • Most wasps are poisonous so be careful! • The most poisonous wasp is The Asian Giant Wasp • There are two types of wasps Social and Solitary • They don’t attack you unless you disturb them • Wasps can grow up to 5.5cm long
Symptoms of a Wasp sting • Pain • Burning sensation • Blister formation (in some cases) • Swelling • Itching • Nausea • Headache
What to do if you get stung by a Wasp • Inspect the stung area daily • Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection • If the sting begins to itch then you may want to ask your doctor if you can take a medication for itching • You may need a tetanus shot if you haven't had one in 10 or more years • If you get stung and you have any difficulty talking or breathing, or you feel like your tongue is swelling or your throat is closing get medical help immediately
