It is a hot topic because an Australian adult man survived 45 wasps stings.
According to the Daily Mail in the UK on the 17th (local time), in the afternoon of the 12th (local time) in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, Chris Whitworth was stung by a wasp that suddenly appeared while walking with a dog on a nearby beach.
Surprised, he shook his arm to drive the bees away, and dozens of other wasps appeared in groups, focusing on his face, around his neck, and on his legs.
Whitworth said, "I ran from a swarm of wasps, and I realized that the wasps were running around me, chasing and shooting."
“I took off my top and ran about 15m, but the bees kept chasing me. I ran another 50m and went to the place where there were two women.”
Both women were attacked by bees and had to evacuate.
Barely freed from the relentless attack of the wasps, Whitworth returned home, showered, and prepared dinner, not knowing how seriously he was.
Suddenly, his consciousness became blurred and breathing was difficult, and he explained the situation at the time, "I fell on the floor and cried out to my wife to call an ambulance. It was really hard to breathe."
Fortunately, paramedics arrived at his home on time and infused adrenaline to calm the condition.
It wasn't until he was treated that he discovered that he had 45 shots in the head, neck, torso, arms and legs.
A few days later, the swelling caused by wasp stings disappeared, and Whitworth recovered, filed a complaint with the city council, and set up a sign reminding passers-by in search of the location of the wasp bite.
The wasp nest has since been removed.
A wasp can die when an allergic reaction caused by bee venom occurs severely. In Korea, 31 people have died from bee stings in the last 3 years as of September.
