The Sting of the wild

Here is another interesting book that I ran across
a year ago. Written by an entomologist who has spent
these last 25 (or more years) testing and evaluating
the sting (pain) levels, effects, and bodily responses
produced by assorted venomous insects.



This book discusses everything from his early beginnings
of this (tangent) interest to numerous personal insights
including a table listing subject species tested, descriptive
pain summaries, and a "pain scale".



I imagine that someone (at some point) in time would have
undertaken such an endeavor as it stands to reason that we
as humans always seem to make "comparisons" regarding
everything in life.



The book is certainly curiously entertaining to read.
So, if odd topics within our science appeal to you then
a copy of this book may just be the thing for you !
