Locate nest. Acquire gas and shovel and matches. Reek revenge upon them.

Sound like hornets that nest in the ground.
Probably ran over their nest. Get some of the foaming ground nesting hornet killing spray. Find their hole and wait til night time so they'll all be inside. The gas them with the spray. Kill them all. It's the only way ETA: Tarantula Hawk? That is the most terrifying sounding creature I've ever heard of. |

Pop a Benadryl or two or drink the max allowed amount.
Best thing to fight the pain and swelling. I've heard applying Flonase directly to the affected area helps but have never personally tried it. |

Isn't the venom now in the tissue under the skin? And since meat tenderizer basically dissolves meat, if it could reach the venom under the skin, it would also be in contact with meat, that meat being your flesh. |

Sounds like common paper wasps to me although I've never heard of them nesting in the ground. Are there any structures or BBQ pits, etc near where you got stung? They're normally pretty docile unless you mess with the nest then it's on! I've noticed a LOT of wasp activity around here lately.

Hmmm, it says online that very few animals except for roadrunners can eat them. You might need to get some pet roadrunners.
Meep meep! 
If you can find these, they are good to have around if you have bees/wasps in the area. I got stung by a hornet on my cheek when I was a kid, this little vial took the pain away almost instantly.

Quote HistoryQuote HistoryFrom your link: Tarantula hawk wasps are relatively docile and rarely sting without provocation. However, the sting — particularly that of P. grossa — is among the most painful of any insect, though the intense pain only lasts about three minutes.[5] One researcher described the pain as "…immediate, excruciating pain that simply shuts down one's ability to do anything, except, perhaps, scream. Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations."[3] In terms of scale, the wasp's sting is rated near the top of the Schmidt sting pain index, second only to that of the bullet ant, and is described by Schmidt as "blinding, fierce [and] shockingly electric".[6] Because of their extremely large stingers, very few animals are able to eat them; one of the few animals that can is the roadrunner. Many predatory animals avoid these wasps, and many different insects mimic them, including various other wasps and bees (Mullerian mimics), as well as moths, flies (e.g., mydas flies), and beetles (e.g., Tragidion) (Batesian mimics).
Aside from the possibility of triggering an allergic reaction, the sting is not dangerous and does not require medical attention. Local redness appears in most cases after the pain, and lasts for up to a week. |
