AB Wasps,  bees,  and  stinging  ants  are  members  of  the  order  Hymenoptera.  Local  and  generalized  reactions  may  occur  in  response  to  an  encounter.  Africanized  bees  often  attack  in  massive  numbers  with  a  venom  load  that  may  result  in  lethal  toxicity.  Fire  ant  venom  may  cross-react  in  individuals  sensitized  to  other  Hymenoptera  stings.
