You forgot the second part, which really justifies his fears. The whole quote:
“I’ve had a pest man around to sort the problem and he said there were still thousands of wasps around. He warned me not to go near there because they might smell the stings on me.”
And apparently, the stings and the smell are like markers for other wasps to attack (according to an expert in the article).
As a former “pest man” I can’t imagine going into a situation that intense. They sent one guy and he’s like don’t go back out there. What the fuck? Need to send a team in suits to deal with this. In my post exterminator life I don’t kill anything except mosquitos and wasps. But I do so with extreme prejudice.
Fuuuuuck thaaaaat, I’ve been stung by a few wasps, but not all at once, the most at once was about 3 times, all on my dumb bald head, but that was just was one asshole who got pissy that I went into my shed.
One time I was trying to knock a nest down during the day like the dumbass I am, about 30 reeeeeeaaaallly angry wasps came staunching out after me, I barely made it inside… Those little fucks sat there at my door flying around in a circles and randomly dive bombing my fly screen door every time they saw me, for 8 hours… I was a hostage in my own house, they were out to kill me that day.
Fuck you wasps! I hope you go extinct you useless excuse of an insect!
I really wish they were useless insects but unfortunately for us they’re important pollinators. How stuff works also did a good podcast about them.
initially thought he had been stung 160 times after they invaded his home
You think hed be afraid to bee in his house
Jfc. I want to see that on video.
Why hasn’t there been a movie about killer wasps yet?
There’s an episode of black mirror about AI bees that I think you’d like, it’s called Hated in the Nation. It’s 89 minutes so basically a movie.
Not quite the same as actual regular wasps, but it’s the right vibe given your comment, and they act more like wasps than bees ;)

How dare you use a comma splice in your first sentence
