I to have had fly by stings from wayward wasps. I pour vinegar on the sting. Cools right down. I had not heard about using ammonia.Generally speaking, I agree with this statement. However, sometimes, it's hard to say what a wasp considers "messing with."
Some times, we have been pruning shrubbery, and pruned out branches with wasp nests attached, and not gotten stung.
On the other hand, on 3 different occasions, I was just standing out in the open, no possible nest site within at least 20 feet of where I was standing, and a wasp flew into me and stung me.
I have a pretty good reaction to bee/wasp stings. By "pretty good," I mean I can wind up with a swollen area as big as I can span with my spread fingers (about 8 inches) from a single sting. The best treatment I have yet found for a sting is household ammonia. I soak a paper towel in straight ammonia and put it on the sting. If I can do that within a minute of being stung, within a few hours, there will be almost no sign of the sting at all. I've heard that the ammonia works by chemically reacting with the protein in the bee venom, converting it to something that doesn't trigger the body's reaction. All I can say is, it makes a huge difference for me.
I have a beekeeper down the road, several actually. Never out of honey!
They put my mom on cholesterol drugs and she had nightmares, she took them back to doc said u keep these I'll change my diet instead. No more problems since getting rid of fake butter spreads and eating less packaged stuff.
