A stinging wasp in the stomach: accidental endoscopic diagnosis of a systemic anaphylactic reaction.

Abstract

There are only four reported cases of bees or wasps being found as foreign bodies in the esophagus or stomach. We report the first case, to our knowledge, of a wasp puncture in the stomach causing local (acute heartburn) and systemic symptoms (anaphylaxis).
