“vacation in Laos” 🫤🙄
>>the hornets overwhelmed Daniel and Cooper Owen as they descended from a tree at Green Jungle Park, an eco-adventure resort...
I’d say they got a bit more”eco-adventure” than they signed up for!
That has to be one of the worst ways to go when you’re fully conscious. Being attacked in what is already a dangerous place, on the side of a high mountain, and by those gigantic bugs.
Whoever runs that Zip-Lining attraction may want to find out what else is lurking in that area, before placing tourist in those spots. The Adult tourist could have looked into possible dangers via the internet.
Such a sad story. Father and son out on a fun adventure and that happens.
I have a couple of favorite hiking spots on the San Francisco Peninsula where signs are posted at one location on each trail “Caution: Bees / Yellowjackets.” I keep wondering “Why don’t they eradicate them instead of putting up a sign?” It’s utter insanity to run the risk of somebody dying on those trails because they don’t want to kill BUGS.
It’s not the breed. It’s the owner.
I’m not getting my hopes up for Murder Hornets again until we see some measurable carnage and fear, not anecdotal tourist deaths.
I can’t think of a more horrible way to go, RIP.
“touching many lives”....
Murder Hornets sound like something you’d find in Australia.
Everything there can kill ya, I hear.
Horrible. When I’m out hunting or hiking around here (southern AZ), I consider Africanized bees to be the most dangerous animals I might encounter, even though I’m not allergic to bee stings. They have already killed several people in the state over the last 30 years. Those bees will chase you as far as a mile, and I can’t run a mile in the desert while being continually stung, so they’d get me. If I hear that hum or see more than one or two bees flying nearby, I cautiously go the other way.
There are also paper wasps, mud wasps, and yellowjackets here, and it’s no fun being stung by them, but they won’t attack as aggressively as the killer bees.
Probably severe anaphylactic shock after exposure to murder hornet venom.
