Wasps - Why Do Wasps Chase You?

Having a wasp sting is painful and could cause you to become allergic to them. If you’ve been stung, you should take precautions and call an emergency number.

Wasps are a type of stinging insect and they can sting multiple people. The reason they sting is because they feel threatened. They will attack people who run, approach them, or disturb their nest. If they sting, they’ll send a chemical into the air to warn other wasps of a food source.

Wasps are good flyers and they can fend off strong winds. They’ll also chase people who are moving faster. Wasps will not sting people more than 50 to 100 feet away from their nest.

Wasps are beneficial to nature. They provide pollinating services and also kill pests. They can be very aggressive though, and if they feel threatened, they’ll sting. They can sting repeatedly and if you’re allergic to their stings, they could kill you.

While it’s not always possible to avoid being stung, you can avoid being attacked by a wasp by removing yourself from the situation as soon as you can. You can also wear protective clothing to avoid being stung.

When you first see a wasp, you should be calm and walk away. If you are surrounded by them, cover your face, mouth, and eyes. If you are not sure what to do, cover your eyes and call an emergency number.

If you are in a car, you can hit them with a blunt object such as a plastic bottle or a hand. Alternatively, you can drive away from the situation.
