CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Are wasps poisonous?

1. Are wasps poisonous?

Wasps are poisonous. Wasps, also known as hornets, hornets, and tiger wasps, are widely distributed, diverse, fast-flying insects belonging to the order Hymenoptera, which is divided into many families. Female wasps have a long stinger on their bodies. When attacked, they will attack in groups, which can cause allergic reactions and toxic reactions in people, and in severe cases, it can lead to death.

The eggs of wasps are usually oval, white, and smooth. There is one egg in each nest chamber, with a filamentous stalk at the base to hold it until the larvae hatch. The larvae are spindle-shaped, white, legless, and have 13 body segments. The head, thorax, and abdomen of the adult are distinct, and the main organs are clearly visible. At the end of the midgut of the larvae's digestive tract, a closed sac is formed by the peritrophic membrane, which is not connected to the excretory pore. The excrement is stored in this sac and is free in the body.

The pupa is a yellow-white pupa, which becomes darker with age. There is no more excrement and sac in the body, waiting for the emergence. After the emergence is mature, it breaks out of the cocoon and becomes a complete wasp. The body appearance of the wasp in the adult stage also has the standard characteristics of insects, including head, thorax, abdomen, three pairs of legs and a pair of antennae; at the same time, its simple eyes, compound eyes and wings are also common characteristics of most insects; in addition, there is a degenerate ovipositor hidden in the tail end of the abdomen, which is the poisonous bee sting. The body length is 14-18mm.

Yao Jun, an associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences' Bee Research Institute, said that not all bee stings are like this. Generally speaking, only domesticated bees have barbs on their stings, while the stings of most hymenoptera bees, such as wasps and bumblebees, do not have barbs and can sting multiple times.

Afterwards, Yao Jun also demonstrated the differences between the other two types of bees and the honey bee. Among the three types of bees, the smallest one is the experimental honey bee, which has a barb on its stinger; the larger one in the middle is another type of bee, scientifically known as bumblebee, which has no barb on its sting and can sting people repeatedly; the largest one is the golden ring hornet, which belongs to the family Vespidae, has a larger individual size, a longer sting, no barb, and can sting people repeatedly.

I just took it out, turned around and ran away, and came back after a while, chasing them one by one and killing them all. However, wasps are very tenacious, so be careful not to get stung. This is the method I often use, which is simple and rough. The elderly at home usually use boiling water to solve the problem. If you encounter a very large wasp nest, you should ignore it and avoid it if you can. But you can't just leave it alone and be nervous.

It is poisonous, but a sting is actually a good thing. Bee venom can cure diseases, but if a lot of stings are given at once... it can be life-threatening.

If you think clearly about the hornet's nest, just call the local 119. Don't stir up a hornet's nest impulsively!

Knock it down and run into the house

Wasps, also known as hornets, ants or horse wasps, are a wide-ranging, fast-flying insect. Examples include woodwasp, cedarwoodwasp and parasitic tree wasps. They belong to the family Vespidae of the order Hymenoptera. Female wasps have a powerful long stinger on their bodies. When attacked or disturbed unfriendly, they will attack in groups, which can cause allergic and toxic reactions in people, and in severe cases, can lead to death.

Wasps typically build nests out of macerated pulpy wood and feed on animal or plant food. The most common venomous sting of a wasp, if stung by a human, often swells into a painful lump that takes days to soothe. Some people are allergic to wasp stings, meaning a wasp sting can be fatal.

Introduction to the toxicity of wasps

Toxicity: The main components of wasp venom are histamine, serotonin, bradykinin, hyaluronidase, etc. The venom is alkaline and can be easily neutralized by acidic solutions.

The venom can cause hemolysis, bleeding and neurotoxic effects, and can damage the myocardium, renal tubules and glomeruli, especially the proximal renal tubules, and can also cause allergic reactions.

Symptoms of poisoning: After being stung by a wasp, the stung skin will immediately become red, swollen, painful, and even have petechiae and skin necrosis; when the eyes are stung, there will be severe pain, tears, redness and swelling, and corneal ulcers may occur. Systemic symptoms include dizziness, headache, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, irritability, and high blood pressure, which generally disappear within a few hours to a few days. In severe cases, there may be drowsiness, systemic edema, oliguria, coma, hemolysis, myocarditis, hepatitis, acute renal failure and shock, and even death. Some people who are allergic to bee venom may experience urticaria, anaphylactic shock, etc.
