How to Cure Wasp Stings in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Shaking trees in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be a great way to get resources, but before long, you might find yourself running away from a swarm of angry wasps. Though suffering from a wasp sting won’t stop you from building, it causes your face to swell up, and can make you pass out if you’re stung a second time.

You need to shake trees to get sticks for crafting, or fruit which can be used for cooking, or just to make some extra money, so avoiding wasps is almost unavoidable. Thankfully, there are a couple of ways to get rid of the wasp stings in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and get you looking normal in no time.

Make Some Medicine

Making medicine is the easiest way to cure wasp stings in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and thankfully, making medicine is fairly quick and simple to do, as long as you have a workbench.

If you haven’t already managed to get the medicine DIY recipe, you will need to speak to some residents on your island. When your face is swollen, they will comment on your face and offer you the recipe to make some medicine. Once you have the recipe, you will need to collect a wasp nest and three clumps of weeds.

Of course, the weeds are simple, just grab them from the ground; however, for the wasp nest, you will need to go back to the tree you shook and collect the wasp’s nest from the ground. Once you have all the ingredients, simply craft some medicine in your DIY bench and use it to cure the wasp stings.

Wait Until the Next Day

Wasp nests can be used to craft other things in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, so you might not want to use your wasp nest to craft some medicine. Thankfully, there is another way.

Instead of wasting your wasp nest on crafting medicine, just wait until the next day, when you wake up, the swelling and sting will be completely gone, without needing to do anything about it.

Get Stung Again

If you really don’t want a swollen face, and you don’t want to waste your wasp nest, you could consider looking for more wasps. If you are stung a second time, and you’ve not used any medicine, you will pass out and wake up in front of your house, without any swelling.

Buy Some Medicine

The easiest way to cure wasp stings in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is to simply buy some medicine. If you head on over to Nook’s Cranny, you can find the medicine for sale for just 400 bells.

While crafting the medicine is very simple, this is one of the best ways to keep hold of the wasp nest, and if you’ve got more bells than you know what to do with, 400 bells isn’t much to worry about.
