Can wasps carry disease or virus? have stomach ache, nauseas, & ill since i got stung 1 & 1/2 weeks ago. still have red rash around red dot from sting

Emergi Center!: Wasp venom is poisonous & is injected into you when you're stung. Some people are allergic to wasp venom & have a serious reaction if they are stung. The antihistamine drug diphenhydramine (Benadryl) may help. Loosen your clothing & remove tight jewelry. Clean the area with soap and water. And get to an Urgent Center as soon as possible. You appear to be having an allergic rxn which could worsen!
