Pah, how about Dick Dastardly!
Looks like the sting was towards the front of the tongue to me.No, if you are allergic, your throat can close off even if you are stung on the toe, but localised swelling happens to everyone, at the site of the bite. I think most people would survive a wasp sting to the tip of their tongue, but at the back of the throat, with repeated stings especially, anyone could be in trouble. Sensible you stayed with friends until you knew for sure . People can develop allergies to be stings, so it's always good to be cautious.
(I'm somewhere in the middle: my immune system overreacts to stings and bites, but the reaction is localised which means there is no cause for alarm)
Doh! I even refreshed the page to make sure no one had answered him, but failed to notice there was now a page 2No - it can happen in anyone. Anaphylaxis is most likely in those with an allergy.
Thats not fair to take it out on all wasps. Thats like saying one politician has ripped us off so they are all rotten.Thankfully I wasn't far from where a few friends are, so I cycled there and stayed with them for half an hour so that if I had a reaction I was with others. The next wasp I see is really gonna get it..
Quick tip - if you're going to spray wasps nests yourself, do it after dark when they're all home and tucked up in waspy beds. HOWEVER, do not use a feck off bright head torch to see what you're doing and wake the little feckers up. DAMHIKT.True story. Found a wasps' nest in our attic, so told the Mrs I was off to buy a can of the spray stuff to deal with it. Was immediately forbidden to touch it, "I'm going to phone the council" I was told. Quite amusingly lady at the council said "why don't you just get a can of that spray stuff". Back to my plan. Ladder in place, clear run from the nest to the ladder, all doors in the house open to run into the garden. Psyched myself up - close enough to hit the target but not too close to eacape afterwards - I'm well aware how cross they get. Spray - nest instantly disintegrates - run - down ladder, downstairs, out the door. Heaet rate 200 - listen - no buzzing. Give it a few minutes then stick my head indoors -nothing. Back upstairs - silence - quietly up the ladder. Turned out nest was long abandoned and no one home.
