What a disgusting cow
The only way this ends somewhat well is the killer bees start fighting them and get their population under control. It's the closest thing we have to the Japanese bees that dogpile those asian hornets.
I must have totally missed something
They sort of did, we found out what was killing them eariler was some kind of fungi. And they were making a recovery. These hornets are the last thing they need.
I feel the same way hahaha... im not working and my job is still paying me... So I'm just playing MK and eating food... Only thing is, I'm a workout addict and I'm gaining weight
I'm not sure where those sources are from but the people who have died typically are stung more than 40 times which doesn't classify on the LD-50 chart as even a single "X" . Now if we take something like the Taipan, and then were to evenly distribute 1 drop of it's (primarily) neurotoxic venom to 125,000,000 mice, there would be no survivors.

Wow, you know a lot about this. Is it related to your line of work?I'm not sure where those sources are from but the people who have died typically are stung more than 40 times which doesn't classify on the LD-50 chart as even a single "X" . Now if we take something like the Taipan, and then were to evenly distribute 1 drop of it's (primarily) neurotoxic venom to 125,000,000 mice, there would be no survivors.
I could also place it on my skin or in a Rum and coke and it will have no effect unless there is a cavity or open wound allowing it into the bloodstream as this is how venom works, it must be injected thus the highly evolved venom apparatuses we can see across the world ; Jellyfish have barbed tentacles, Scorpion's "tail", a fish's dorsal or pectoral spines, the platypus has spines on the feet,.... even the Spitting Cobras MUST get the venom "inside you" where it causes blindness untreated.
Once this powerful cocktail of enzymes and proteins are in your blood, they start to affect different organs depending on the type of venom - Hemotoxins attack the blood cells and cause necrosis, inflicting unfathomable pain and agony. Cardiotoxins are especially dangerous and affect the heart and work very fast. Neurotoxins shut down your synapses which send messages from the brain to the rest of the body triggering movement. The cause of death is almost always respiratory failure.
I made this point so people can understand the properties of venom and how it works and never in my life have I heard of a venom that affects the skin itself, and i can vouch that i have personally had venom with a much higher level of toxicity both on my skin and IN my bloodstream. 1 does absolutely nothing, the 2nd will make you wish you were dead even if it doesn't kill you.
Hopefully after reading this (i apologize for not investing more time in the post), people will understand it a little better, realize there's nothing to panic about unless an entire nest attacks you or you're allergic. You should still be much more afraid of the Africanized Honeybee, a deadly and extremely aggressive hybrid that has plagued the U.S. for decades now.
Finally, while these dangerous invasive species are almost always a problem on every continent they've been introduced to, i hope people can understand extirpating something that is NOT supposed to be there and is destroying the ecosystem it has taken over as opposed to people just killing something because it has the potential to be dangerous or aggressive or "may come across as a little scary".
You'll have to search specific for other species and familia but here is an easy to read chart for snakes:

You never realized his avatar is a snake? Iirc he either owns a bunch or works with them, can’t remember.
Not as of the last 5 years but i still like to stay fresh. I can elaborate more but was already afraid there were going to be a lot of people getting bored and TLDR's. Working with snakes and venomous (or poisonous; the 2 are quite different) has led me to fairly extensive study of venom, it's composition, effects on organisms, and occasionally it's benefits.

They are accused of killing Calvin Munerlyn at the Family Dollar on Fifth Avenue in Flint on Friday, May 1.
My understanding is Venomous = it bites you, and poisonous = you bite it. So, venomous snake, poisonous mushroom, for example.
In a nutshell, yes. There may be a few grey areas of confusion like when it comes to venom being sprayed into the eyes... Well wait a minute, why isn't that poison? I can spray Lysol in something's eyes and it's still going to have a very unpleasant effect... the basis is that not all poisonous material is venom but all venom IS POISONOUS.
Right, that's it, I'm gonna file for a conceal and carry permit. If people wanna kill themselves oh well, if someone wants to take me down with them they're in for a rude awakening.
Because they think the virus is a hoax and that people wearing the PPE are perpetuating fear in”muh MURICA.”
Maurice?
