  1. These bees will swarm, surrounding you from all directions and attacking with their potent venom, targeting your eyes, mouth, and ears!
  2. They continue stinging until they are tired or you are no longer a threat.
  3. 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!
