A wasp sting is a swelling that can last for a few hours and can be itchy and painful. Around the bite, the area can be swollen for up to one week, which is not anything to worry about as it is a minor reaction. If you experience a major anaphylaxis reaction, which includes swollen face, difficult breathing and dizziness, call 999 immediately.
