John PY - 2017 T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine Manual, 8e AB - Wasps, bees, and stinging ants are members of the order Hymenoptera. Local and generalized reactions may occur in response to an encounter. Systemic toxicity may result from an allergic reaction or from massive envenomation as occurs classically with the so-called Africanized bees, which often attack in large numbers. Fire ant venom may cross-react in individuals sensitized to other Hymenoptera stings.
