Electrocardiographic changes associated with multiple yellow jacket stings.
A previously healthy 38-year-old man was stung multiple times by yellow jackets without any signs of anaphylaxis being observed. An electrocardiogram taken 16 hours later revealed episodes of wandering atrial pacemaker, junctional rhythm, and intermittent premature ventricular contractions. These arrhythmias disappeared spontaneously.
