So it's not parasitic on humans at all, what so ever?.

I know this looks weird quoting myself but I just want to add that my boss was bitten by this Wasp and his arm became swollen. I think they only will do this if you bother them, like any other wasps. This is all I know though from my experience, for anyone else that has found this thing flying around. We have tons of them flying around our workplace.
