Worst Place to Get Stung

[besserheimerphat]

Apparently, it's not where you think it is (and yes, he tested).

After reportedly suffering a bee sting on that most sensitive of male body regions, the testicles, Smith was struck with a curious question that — if this were not for science — would certainly cross the boundary into pure masochism.

Smith wanted to know where it hurt the most to be stung. He devised a plan to sting 25 different body parts, using guard bees from the same hive. He randomized the order of the stings so he'd let a bee sting each body part three times, for 60 seconds each time, enough to inject a full dose of venom. He received three experimental stings each day along with two daily "calibration" stings on the forearm.

He rated stings from one to ten (most painful), with a five being the middle ground. And since each body part was stung three times, he calculated the average.

I'll take his word for it.

So what I'm taking away from this article is that getting stung in penis shaft by a honey bee is like watching an ISU football game this year.....

Nope. nope nope nope. Isn't the venom from a bee sting one of those allergies where you can actually develop the allergy with subsequent "uneventful" stings?


I've been stung by bees a handful of times, but the worst was a wasp experience while mountain biking. It was a pretty technical downhill section (i.e., there was no "bailout" option for about 150 yards of trail) and about 10 yards into it a wasp flew inside my jersey and it. was. pissed. Four stings on my sternum before I could get off the trail and rip the jersey off. That little **** was so painful.

He didn't do on the ear. That hurts pretty bad.

He didn't even do his eyeball? Invalid test...

I know of two people who have been stung inside of their mouth when they took a drink from their open Mountain Dew cans. Neither found it particularly enjoyable.

That dude is a masochist. I'm not sure its possible to get stung in the testicle. However, inside the nose has to be the worst spot and he seems to agree. I absolutely hate just getting a mosquito up the nose and can't stop sneezing for at least 10 minutes.

Why would you let yourself get stung on the balls?

This is science?

I got stung by a hornet on the top of my head one time. That was up there.

He didnt test the taint. I'm going to call this still unsettled, as that's the worst place i can imagine.

I was stung on my tongue going to take a drink once, probably the worst pain of my life. Fortunately the particular drink I was enjoying helped numb it up a little.
