Dr. John Chiu answered

Allergy to hornet: This is no different from bee sting allergy and the reaction may vary from just a large local swelling to anaphylaxis (potentially deadly). See an allergist if you have had an anaphylactic reaction (passing out, breathing issues) since venom shots are highly effective (>95%). You will also be checked for mast cell disorder & prescribed epinephrine autoinjectors.
