Abstract
- The article discusses insect stings. The Schmidt Sting Pain Index, made by toxinologist Doctor Justin Schmidt, ranks stings from one to four. Schmidt's method involves obtaining sheila insect specimens, getting a guinea pig, and persuading the critter to sting. Schmidt suggests the use of ice and beer to numb one who has been stung. Among the insects that can sting are the European Paper Wasp, the American Tarantula Hawk Wasp, and the Brazilian Bullet Ant.
