The wasp stings I had started out like being stabbed with a big needle with an excruciating burning pain, that continued for the best part of a day (water/ice/salves didn't help), the next two days it still hurt but was fading somewhat, after that it itched for about a week. Was considerably worse than I was expecting.
Maybe you're allergic?
I've had tests done before and I've not been found to be allergic to anything, plus if I was then I think 5 stings over the space of 2 months would probably kill me (don't people normally almost die when they are stung by something they are allergic to?).
No, I was stung by a jellyfish which turned out I was allergic to. It hurt for a bit then just got really itchy, spent four hours in a hospital waiting room for some guy to sit me in a room and give me piriton.
Hmm, could be then. At the time I just assumed they must be quite severe stings in general, but it did seem a rather more than I'd expect a wasp sting to be like.
What you discriped sounded nothing like a wasp sting. More like a hornet sting.
you will probably find you are allergic to them.
