How dangerous are whitehead wasps?

I'm wondering because when i was working, there was a nest of them and we had to call the exterminator.

My friend got stung by a whitehead wasp and he was fine for an hour. Then he exploded.

I'm not sure what 'white-head wasps' are. here in the US we have a large wasp called a bald-faced hornet that has a white-looking head; if that's what you mean, they have a very powerful sting, and probably should not be messed with, but I've never had any trouble from the various hornet nests that I've shared space with. Wish I could say the same for Paper Wasps and Yellowjackets.
