A member asked:
How quick would anaphylaxis set in after wasp sting? got stung by 4 yellow jackets about 4 hours ago. can there be delayed anaphylaxis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: But delayed anaphylaxis is non-existent or rare from stinging insect since it usually occurs within minutes. Can you tell us a little more about your symptoms? In general, the later the anaphylaxis occurs the milder the severity. Multiple (likely >10) stings may however cause symptoms from the venom dose even if you were not allergic in the first place.
