The Asian Hornets are known to painfully and thoroughly kill its victims and reports have stated that they have been spotted in the U.S as well.
HuffPost Reports: Citing Chinese government sources, CNN reports that at least 42 people have died and 1,675 have been injured as a result of giant Asian hornets in Shaanxi province since July.
Justin O. Schmidt, an entomologist at the Southwest Biological Institute in Tucson, Ariz., told CNN that Vespa mandarinia carries a venom that destroys red blood cells, which can result in kidney failure and death, and noted that allergies to the venom can trigger cardiac arrest or cause airways to close.
One of the causes of the hornet’s migration and spread may be placed on the increase of climate change recently. This goes to show you if you don’t take care of your world, your world won’t take care of you… and in fact may kill you!
