I wonder if most people would tend to be as merciful
to poisonous snakes and spiders? Probably not, yet
according to this website
http://www.chw.org/display/PPF/DocID/3112/router.asp
bites from poisonous spiders kill less than 3 people per year,
bites from poisonous snakes kill less than 10, but bee stings kill
about 40 people a year and 15-20 of those bee deaths are
due to yellow jacket stings.
And according to this website
http://www.acaai.org/public/background/insects.htm
"Experts also estimate that many more deaths may occur that
are never formally attributed to an insect sting allergy."
