39. Ohio – Wasps

Ohio is home to several species of wasps, including paper wasps and hornets, which can pose serious threats when provoked. These insects are known for their painful stings and aggressive swarming behavior, especially when their nests are disturbed. For individuals allergic to wasp venom, a single sting can trigger anaphylaxis—a life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical attention. Even for non-allergic individuals, multiple stings can be dangerous. Wasps often build nests around homes, under eaves, and in attics. It’s important to inspect your property regularly and contact pest control for safe removal. Avoid wearing strong fragrances outdoors and keep food sealed to prevent attracting them.
