THATS ALL THE BIG SCARIES IN ONE BUG TFFF JU
Give it a dime, apparently.
Had to go research this thing, and the answer to what to do if it stings you is scream.
from Wikipedia-
βOne researcher described the pain as ββ¦immediate, excruciating, unrelenting pain that simply shuts down oneβs ability to do anything, except scream. Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations. In terms of scale, the waspβs sting is rated near the top of the Schmidt sting pain index, second only to that of the bullet ant, and is described by Schmidt as βblinding, fierce [and] shockingly electricβ.β
Sooooooβ¦dissociate to escape or?
Itβs laying eggs in you.
Letβs back up a second and fully appreciate that description.
The Schmidt sting pain index, a widely used classification system for the bites and stings of ants, bees and wasps, is literally the personal ranking system of a guy named Justin Schmidt, who goes around letting bugs sting him for science. Like, thatβs this Thing as a scientist.
In one entry, he describes the sting of the common bee as βalmost pleasant, [like] a lover just bit your earlobe a little too hard.β
In another, the sting of the yellowjacket is described as βhot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine W. C. Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.β
So when the Schmidt sting pain index characterises the sting of the tarantula hawk as βblinding, fierce [and] shockingly electricβ, well, now you know what your standard for comparison is!
this is fascinating but when do we kinkshame Justin Schmidt
Justin Schmidt is the epitome of masochism
