Hornet Stings
Hornet stings tend to be itchy and painful. The affected area may become swollen and red immediately after a bite, but there may be no effects in the long term. You would simply apply ice on the skin to help alleviate the pain or take an OTC antihistamine to deal with itching. The symptoms may last only 30 minutes and then gradually disappear after 1 or 2 days. However, some people may experience serious allergic reactions if they are allergic to hornet stings. If you fell shortness of breath, hives, or dizziness, swelling, irregular heartbeat, or nausea, visit your healthcare provider as soon as possible to get proper treatment. [6]
