Millions Of Very Aggressive Killer Asian Hornets Head For UK: What To Know
Asian hornets have already killed people across continents. Now, experts warn that more of them could be on their way to Britain because of the warm spring season.
Measuring almost three inches long, Asian hornets are more vicious than smaller varieties of the insect. They also carry a more powerful and toxic sting composed of eight chemicals that could result in allergic shock in humans.
Six people in France have so far died from anaphylactic shock after they were stung by these insects that originated from China but have already spread in many parts of the world, including Portugal, Spain and France, where it is believed to have traveled on some Chinese pot plants in 2004.
....
The public has also been asked not to approach the nests of these insects, which can often be found on the sides of buildings and in trees. Most people die after they disturb a nest and get stung several times, which can result in a deadly reaction in those who have allergies. A 54-year-old man, for instance, died when he was attacked by a swarm after he disturbed their nest.
If a hornet or its nest is accidentally disturbed, running would not be a good idea because the insects can fly faster. Experts advise crouching low on the ground, not moving and covering the head.
Insect research professor Li Xin from the Northwest Agricultural and Forestry University said that hornets see running as a form of provocation.
Hornets are also intrigued by moving targets. They are likewise drawn to the smell of cologne and perfume and are agitated by the alcohol's smell.

If a hornet or its nest is accidentally disturbed, running would not be a good idea because the insects can fly faster. Experts advise crouching low on the ground, not moving and covering the head.

I used to be an editor. And I know, I know — this is really inelegant editing. I'm not proud of it. But Jesus Christ, I had to do something pronto! That first excerpt was basically announcing the end of the fucking world. As for the second, well, we don't want anyone crouching down and trying to cover the hornet's head. That would be bad.

I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.

Funnily enough, I once knew a man from St Bees who was stung on the arm by a wasp.
