And don't run around the house cursing, but calmly sit with your hand in a glass. P.S. Those who deal with snakes or scorpions know that it's very important not to panic and not to run up and down the stairs. On the contrary - calmness. When keeping "exotics," you need to warn your family about what to do if things go wrong.

I was watching a show about winged insects on Discovery, and they said that there were rumors of fatalities, but none have been recorded in practice. Although one can apply logic here - if there is a heart rhythm failure, then naturally a person with a weak heart may not be able to withstand it.

Yes, we are also dealing with individual tolerance and susceptibility here. The story of a young woman who died from a wasp sting, which accidentally got into her sweater while she was putting it on, is still fresh in memory; the wasp stung her in the back. Swelling occurred immediately, and the doctors could not neutralize the effect of the venom on her heart; death occurred after three days. The dose of venom also plays a very significant role. With a large sting and a high dose of venom, it is quite possible for a person who is susceptible to it to die.
