The Scary and Mysterious Creatures That Inhabit Our Planet
Killer Bees!
- Africanised honey bees, known as "killer bees," have one of the most potent venoms in the insect race.
- These bees will swarm, surrounding you from all directions and attacking with their potent venom, targeting your eyes, mouth, and ears!
- They continue stinging until they are tired or you are no longer a threat.
- It's estimated that the average lethal dose for an adult is 500–1,100 bee stings; however, people have died from 100 to 300 stings.
The tongue-eating louse:
The parasitic isopod, known as the "tongue-eating louse," inhabits the mouths of unsuspecting fish, where it consumes and replaces the fish's tongue.
Imagine unknowingly consuming a fish that hosts this parasite, which then enters your body to carry out its parasitic activities! Yuk!
