A member asked:

Does wasp hurt or sting bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Being stung is painful. Some insects hurt more than others. The last time i was stung by a yellow jacket it hurt for about 3 days. If you are not allergic to the insect sting you should not have any physical distress or have any lasting problems.
