sting definition and meaning

What is a "sting"?

A sting refers to the sharp, sudden pain and discomfort caused by the injection of venom or irritants into the skin by insects such as bees, wasps, or ants. It usually results in redness, swelling, and sometimes itching around the affected area. In some cases, stings can cause allergic reactions, leading to more severe symptoms like difficulty breathing or swelling of the face and throat, which require immediate medical attention. Treatment for a sting typically involves washing the area with soap and water, applying a cold compress to reduce swelling, and using over-the-counter antihistamines or creams to ease the itching and discomfort.
