If you are stung by a tarantula hawk, it's important to take the following steps:

Remain calm: Although the pain can be intense, try not to panic. The sting of a tarantula hawk is not typically life-threatening to humans.

Remove the stinger: The wasp's stinger may still be in your skin, so try to remove it as quickly as possible using a clean, sharp object such as a credit card or tweezers.

Clean the area: Wash the affected area with soap and water to help prevent infection.

Apply a cold compress: Applying a cold compress, such as a cold pack or ice wrapped in a towel, can help reduce swelling and alleviate pain.

Take pain relievers: Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help reduce pain and discomfort.

Seek medical attention: If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the face, lips, or throat, seek medical attention immediately.

It's important to note that the pain and swelling from a tarantula hawk sting can last for several hours, and sometimes even up to a day or two. However, with proper care, most people will make a full recovery.
