Dead wasp sting???????????

I saw a wasp in the bathroom and I quickly killed it using my slippers and it was definitely dead, so I got some tissues and picked it up to throw it in the bin, and then I felt a sting - I think I must have touched the stinger by accident. I have heard about how it is supposed to be agony and hurt for days... but it honestly only felt like a slight tingling for 5 minutes and then I just bit my thumb (sting was on thumb) all over it for a minute, probably dispersing the venom and instantly it was gone! To me, that so called "sting" was less painful than a paper cut or a splinter.... Am I some weird super resistant anomaly of the human race or was it just that dead wasp stings do not hurt as much???
