How to use "Stung" in context?
When we get stung by an insect, the sensation can be quite painful. The pain-sensitive nerve endings in our skin are trigeminal nerve cells, found principally in the cheeks and lower jaws. The pain is caused by the release of neuropeptides, such as substance P and neurokinin A, from the trigeminal nerve.
The venomous stings of bees, wasps, hornets and yellow jacket bugs release a host of proteins that cause pain and swelling. The proteins mix with blood and cause the skin to turn a red and purple color.
