Top 10 most PAINFUL Insect Bites!

-
Most of us will have felt the pain of a bee sting. Luckily most of us will have avoided the dreaded pain of a tarantula hawk or a fire ant.
Justin Schmidt felt all three of these - and 147 other horrible, burning sensations - after a dedicated life-long career devoted to insects.

 On numerous fieldwork trips, The University of Arizona entomologist would find himself digging up living colonies of creatures, who in turn were not happy with this destructive human scooping them into bags - and promptly sank their fangs, stingers or pincers into him.

 Still, no pain, no gain, and Schmidt turned his experiences into the Schmidt Sting Pain Index, ranking 78 species in a list which, while subjective, was put together by the man who must surely know best, ranking their pain on a scale of 1 to 4.

  • 10 Sweat Bee


SCHMIDT SAYS: Light, ephemeral, almost fruity. A tiny spark has singed a single hair on your arm.
  • 9 Fire Ant

 SCHMIDT SAYS: Sharp, mildly alarming. Like walking across a shag carpet and reaching for the light switch.

  • 8 Bullhorn Acacia Ant


 SCHMIDT SAYS: A rare, piercing, elevated sort of pain. Someone has fired a staple into your cheek.

  • 7 Bald Faced Hornet


 SCHMIDT SAYS: Rich, hearty, slightly crunchy. Similar to getting your hand mashed in a revolving door.

  • 6 Yellow Jacket


 SCHMIDT SAYS: Hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine W. C. Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.

  • 5 Honey Bee

 SCHMIDT SAYS: The sensation is like a matchhead that flips off and burns on your skin.

  • 4 Red Harvester Ant

 SCHMIDT SAYS: Bold and unrelenting. Somebody is using a drill to excavate your ingrown toenail.

  • 3 Paper Wasp


SCHMIDT SAYS: Distinctly bitter aftertaste. Like spilling a beaker of hydrochloric acid on a paper cut.

  • 2 Tarantula Hawk

 SCHMIDT SAYS: Blinding, shockingly electric. A running hair drier has been dropped into your bubble bath.

  • 1 Bullet Ant

 SCHMIDT SAYS: Like fire-walking over flaming charcoal with a 3-inch rusty nail grinding into your heel.

How many books have you read today? How about this month, this year... your life? What if we told you that a 4-year-old girl named Daliyah Arana read more than 1,000 books by the time she was 3 years old? Yep, it's true. By the time Daliyah was 18 months old, her mother, Haleema Arana, tells the  Washington Post  that she recognized words to the point of wanting to read bedtime stories to herself. Then, at two months shy of 3 years old, Daliyah read her first book. While kids typically learn to read between the ages of 6 and 10, Ross A. Thompson, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis, tells  WebMD  that there isn't a "normal" age when it comes to first learning how to read. Still, it's safe to say that Daliyah is ahead of the game, and her mother points to reading early and often as a possible reason. She read to Daliyah while she was pregnant with her, and they read together ever since she was born. After Daliyah read her fir...

Snake venom are classified in two major types, Neurotoxins and Hemotoxins. However venom of black-necked spitting cobra is Cytotoxin and also the venom of Mojave rattle-snake is Myotoxin. Hemotoxins This type of snake venom destroys red blood cells – causes hemolysis, disrupts blood clotting, and also attacks other types of cells and tissues – causing profound tissue damage and often, organ failure. These types of bites are very painful. Effects may not begin for hours after a bite. Permanent tissue damage almost always results. A person bitten by a snake with hemotoxic venom may bleed from orifices like nose, eyes, and also gums and the brain. If you are bitten on the toe, finger, or some extremity you can usually expect to lose part or all of that body part.
