yellow jacket<\/a> sting.\u00a0 Unlike honey bees which have a barbed stinger\u00a0which allows them to only sting one time, the yellow jacket has a smooth stinger which in most cases does not stay inside of its victim.\u00a0 Yellow jackets have the capability to sting many times.\u00a0 Yellow jacket venom is potent and dangerous.\u00a0 Stings should be taken seriously as any person of any age can suffer from anaphylaxis shock when stung by these wasps.<\/p>\nWhat to DO and NOT TO DO if you are under attack from a posse of yellow jackets.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0Human reaction is to fight or flight.\u00a0 In the case of yellow jackets\u2026do not fight them off of you, it will only insight the angry wasps.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0Instead, the best option is to RUN as fast as you can.\u00a0 The average human can outrun pursuing yellow jackets.\u00a0 Yellow jackets won\u2019t give up the flight easily however.\u00a0 They have been known to chase a person up to a mile before they give up the fight.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0NEVER jump into a pool, pond, lake, or other body of water.\u00a0 Yellow jackets are smart cookies and they instinctively know that sooner or later a person who has jumped into water will be up for a breath of air.\u00a0 Once you come up, the yellow jackets will be ready to attack your head, face, and any other area of skin that they can reach.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0NEVER run inside of a home or business.\u00a0 Pursuing yellow jackets are fast flyers and they will be hot on your trail and will simply follow you inside and attack at will.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0Always keep a lookout for yellow jackets zipping through your front or back yard.\u00a0 Watching where they go will tell you where their nesting site is so it can be avoided.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0If you know yellow jackets are present, never try to kill them on your own.<\/p>\n
