Calculation table of pain when being bitten by an insect

A researcher in Arizona (USA) has published a calculation of the pain of being bitten by insects, helping you to identify and stay away from potential insects.

A researcher in Arizona (USA) has published an insect biting worksheet that helps you identify and avoid insects that have a high "damage" ability.

Justin Schmidt, a researcher from Southwestern Institute of Biology (Arizona, USA) surveyed and published a calculation of pain when being bitten by insects, with a level of 0 (painless) to 4 (extreme Unbearable pain, pain.

Schmidt said that, at level 1, the pain may be quite like a sweet cut but not enough to make you drop a cup while holding. At level 4, the pain is like a 20,000 volts of electricity going through the human body - the pain that makes you not only unable to hold the cup, but even to throw it away to relieve the pain.

By experimenting on himself with burns from 150 different species of insects, he made the following rankings:

Fire ant: Level 1 (pain lasts 2 - 4 minutes)

Honeybee: Level 2 (pain can last up to 10 minutes)

German bees: Level 2 (more painful than honey bee stings, can hurt within 5 minutes)

Velvet ants: Level 3 (pain can last up to 30 minutes)

Natural enemies of Tarantula spiders (Tarantula hawk): Level 4 (though only lasts 3 minutes but extremely painful)

Ants bullet: Level 4 (pain lasts from 12-24 hours)

Of course, the results of the spreadsheet are painful when the insect is burned based on personal experience. And it's also hard for the scientific community to "dare" to do this survey through voluntary testing.
