I’m sure that by now you’ve heard of the Asian giant hornet, also known as the “murder hornet,” that has allegedly made its way to the US and can kill a human with multiple stings.

Well, if you’ve ever wondered how it may feel to get stung by a “murder hornet” the self-proclaimed “King of StingCoyote Peterson actually allowed himself to be stung by one of the insects two years ago in a YouTube episode where he graded the most powerful stings.

First of all, if you don’t have a solid stomach it may make you nervous. In the video, Peterson said he felt “a wave of dizziness … searing pain … absolute searing pain … then his hand and wrist started to swell.”

The hornets kill at east 50 people in Japan a year, but honey bees are their biggest victims.
