Abstract
Wasp stings represent a significant environmental hazard in Sri Lanka. While the majority of individuals experience only localized symptoms, a subset may exhibit allergic reactions of varying severity. In rare instances, these reactions can escalate to life-threatening complications. Rhabdomyolysis, a severe consequence of muscle injury induced by wasp venom, necessitates early diagnosis and prompt intervention to mitigate potential fatalities. We present the case of a 32-year-old male with no prior health issues who was admitted following multiple wasp stings. On the second day of admission, he developed rhabdomyolysis and hepatic injury. With appropriate fluid management, the patient made a full recovery. This case underscores the importance of timely intervention in managing the severe complications of wasp stings.
