The scale on this strange yet
cool sting-o-meter ranges from zero to four, with one meaning a minor pain and
four leveling up to the drop-down worse pain you could imagine.
Being quite experienced himself,
Schmidt claims that the worse and the most painful bite is from that of a
bullet ant, which he claims, "'makes you want to lay down and die."
In contrast, the bite of a fire
ant is much less painful. "They have this kind of sharp, piercing sting," he
claimed.
He further compared the bite from
a tarantula hawk to being hit by 20,000 volts!
On his unique scale, Mr. Schmidt has sorted out the
bites from a fire ant as one, the bites from bumblebees and honeybees as two,
the sting from warrior wasps, tarantula hawks and bullet ants to four.
