Schmidt sting pain index

The most painful animal sting or bite.

There's an amazing index called the Schmidt Pain Index, right? And a guy called Justin Schmidt, who was an entomologist, studied insects.

He stung himself with every creature imaginable and rated... their pain levels and gave us the Schmidt Index.

And now you know how painful something is by looking at the Schmidt Index.

Like there's an incredible YouTube channel called Brave Wilderness, okay? A guy called Coyote Peterson and Mark Vins.

And they go and get bitten by everything and relate it to the Schmidt Pain Index.

But they're doing it on YouTube.

Incredible content.

Question 20.

According to the Schmidt Sting Pain Index, which insect has the more painful sting? Is it the southern fire ant or the bald-faced hornet? The southern fire ant ranks at the maximum pain level, level 1, whilst the bald-faced hornet is slightly less painful on level 2.

What is the plural of quiz? Is it cuisine or is it quizzes? One quiz, two quizzes.

Question 22.

They function only to mate with the new queens.

And there's a thing called the Schmidt Sting Pain Index.

They judge and rate the stinging ability of all the different insects that sting us.

And this Schmidt Sting Pain Index describes a yellow jacket sting this way.

Imagine WC Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.

That's how that feels.

You know, that's not normal behavior.

So it's odd that I haven't had my hand in a revolving door.

The tarantula hawk sting is considered among the most painful stings in the entire animal kingdom.

The guy who made the Schmidt Sting Pain Index described it as, quote, "blinding, fierce, and shockingly electric," unquote, comparing it to a hair dryer being dropped into your bathtub.

Professor and science writer Christopher Cokinos described the sting of the tarantula hawk in this way.

Quote, "To me, the pain is like an electric wand that hits you, inducing an immediate excruciating pain that simply shuts down one's ability to do anything except perhaps scream.

Drop ants.

One of their main characteristics that's well known is they're... sting which is how they get their name um so there's something that's called the schmidt pain index which was basically a guy who i believe he just got stung by a bunch

yeah i read about him today he just kind of sat there and still got stung by a bunch of things

and so that he could categorize how painful they were um so like his pain index starts from zero and for stings that are completely ineffective against humans, progressing through two for familiar pains, such as those caused by common bee or wasp stings, and then finishing at four for the most painful stings.
