Wasp sting – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1236050690

Stings by wasps or hornets, the venoms of which cause local toxic reactions in the unsensitised but may result in anaphylaxis in those previously sensitised. The severity of the reaction depends on the dose of venom and degree of previous sensitisation.
