Rebroadcast: The Schmidt Sting Pain Index with Dr. Justin Schmidt
Listen now
Description
We've had some sickness in our house that has interfered with our podcast schedule. (Don't worry, we're all ok!) So this month we're reaching into our archives to replay an episode you may have missed the first time. This is one of our favorite episodes, and one of our most popular. It's an interview with Dr. Justin Schmidt who has been stung by over 100 different insects and created a scale of how much each one hurts. He tells us about what it feels like to get stung by a bullet ant (OUCH!) versus a bee, why insects sting, why some insects die after they sting you, and lots more.  We will be back soon with bug edition of four truths and a lie and, by Jaguar's demand, an episode of All About Cooking.
