Inspired by the Schmidt Sting Pain Index, Michael L. Smith did us all a favour and answered the obvious follow up question on which body parts hurt the most when stung. He had honey bee guards sting him in 25 locations, multiple times to account for variability, over 38 days.
Results:
The three least painful locations were the skull, middle toe tip, and upper arm (all scoring a 2.3). The three most painful locations were the nostril, upper lip, and penis shaft (9.0, 8.7, and 7.3, respectively).
He and Schmidt were awarded with a shared Ig Noble Price for their efforts.
Was only the shaft part of the penis tested?
Where did a taint sting land?
Between the balls and anus.
Tongue? Eye ball? Penis head?
I bet he’d be friends with Coyote Peterson.
Man I absolutely adored his channel when my kids were toddlers. His love and energy for animals was a straight homage to Steve Irwin.
And then he started doing unboxing videos… haven’t thought of him since.
Honestly, I only ever saw a few of his videos and they were all about getting stung. I never saw particular love and care for animals, I guess excluding stinging insects, but I could see how that would match his energy.
Unboxing doesn’t seem like it really matches his vibe, I agree.
