Was harvesting grapes yesterday when a yellow jacket (didn't see it but they were into my grapes thick) bit me on the top of my index finger. That felt like a red hot needle stuck into my finger. It still hurts today and every time I wash my hands with cold water the stinging starts up again intense. Is there a stinger these things leave behind? I can't even located the exact spot where it got me and I don't see a hole, bite mark or stinger. No swelling and just a touch of redness, but nothing even remotely concerning.
Is this normal when one of these pests nails you? I don't remember having the sting go on this long.
