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.
