Answers:

well im not entirley sure what an asp is? do you mean wasp? anyhow the treatment is essentially the same. first off if your allergic, or show any signs of anaphylaxis (allergic reaction) like hives, itching, difficulty breathing, nausea, you should take a trip to the ER or urgent care. if not because wasps dont lose there stinger you dont have to worrry about removing anything, wash the area with soap and water, then put a cold compress on it and let it sit, thats about it, you can take some ibuprofen or other NSAID, to help reduce any swelling, but like i said earlier, make sure to watch for any signs of an allergic reaction
