Wasp, Yellow Jackets, Bald Faced Hornets

Wasp venom is a complex mixture of proteins, peptides, and other substances. Some key components include:

  • Mastoparan: A peptide that can disrupt cell membranes, leading to pain and inflammation.
  • Phospholipase A: An enzyme that breaks down cell membranes and triggers allergic reactions.
  • Hyaluronidase: An enzyme that helps spread the venom through tissues.
  • Serotonin: A neurotransmitter that contributes to the sensation of pain.
  • Other proteins and peptides that can have various effects on the body, including immune responses and changes in blood pressure.

These components work together to cause pain, inflammation, and potentially more severe reactions in sensitive individuals. For wasp, yellow jackets, bald faced hornets nest exterminating Call HI-TECH PEST CONTROL (248) 569-8001.
