Serious allergic reactions to stings will usually manifest in a matter of seconds up to a couple of minutes. According to the Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine 16th Edition: Ch. 379: Ectoparasite infestations and Arthropod Bites and Stings, "Severe reactions usually begin within 10 min of the sting and only rarely develop after 5 hrs." Although the reactions rarely develop after 5 hrs, the person who has been stung should be closely watched even after 5 hrs.
Any strong reaction to a sting requires urgent medical care.
