Can you die from a single hornet sting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It you are highly allergic ; have an anaphylactic reaction. F you have a known allergy to hornet (wasp) stings – it would be optimum for you to carry an epi-pen, ana- guard sting kit (or similar product) with you all the time. Be familiar with it's use before you need to use it. Check the expiration date- obtain new prescription if needed by your physician.
