“…Their venom is a concentrated mixture of various biogenic amines, such as kinins, phospholipases, hyaluronidase, histamines, acid phosphatases, etc., and they have direct and indirect hemolytic, neurotoxic, myotoxic, nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, and vasoactive properties [ 3 , 5 - 6 ]. The responses to Hymenoptera stings are classified as normal local reactions, large local reactions, systemic anaphylactic reactions, systemic toxic reactions, and unusual reactions [ 7 - 9 ]. Local reactions to wasp sting include pain and swelling [ 10 ].…”

A wasp sting is not uncommon in rural areas, especially in developing countries. While severe allergic reactions to wasp sting are well known, many are unaware of its dangerous systemic toxic reactions. In addition, these systemic toxic reactions occur more gradually as compared to anaphylaxis reactions, which occur rapidly. These deadly systemic reactions can be deceiving, as the local reactions may seem benign and harmless. In an untrained eye with a low index of suspicion, these systemic toxic reactions may be missed without repeated laboratory evaluations and may prove fatal without the timely institution of supportive treatments.

“…Indeed, certain reports have stated that a V. affinis attack can cause an acute kidney injury leading to rhabdomyolysis [1], acute pulmonary edema, and acute renal failure [2]. Meanwhile, a further investigation revealed that a V. affinis attack can lead to serious issues in young humans, including acute liver injury and acute renal failure [3]. In fact, phospholipase A1 is regarded as the main compound responsible for fatal vespid allergy [4][5].…”

The main focus of this research is to ascertain the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic pattern, and surface morphology of a hornet (Vespa affinis) nest. The optical microscopic (OM) analysis demonstrated that the nest presented an irregular formation of partition materials. This was confirmed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which revealed the presence of a unique form with a honeycomb-like pattern. Meanwhile, the materials largely consisted of carbon and oxygen elements, as was revealed by the energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, while the XRD analysis indicated that the nest was composed of amorphous materials of cellulose and lignin. Finally, the (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis revealed the presence of a number of peaks, which indicated that the material also consisted of a mixture of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin materials. It is envisaged that these results would widen the possibilities of fundamental scientific research on forest products, particularly the use of the V. affinis nest for further biological and chemical research
