    I dont know if it's true, but its one of those things you remember from ones youth.
    Wasps kill 50 people in the USA every year, not by stinging. Drivers see them out of the corner of the eye, panic, and crash

    sounded plausible. ish

      I've had a wasp related crash. No-one died though - not even the wasp.

            More like he thought you were a wasp.

            What happens in General, stays in General.

              Well that is true but not necessarily specifically to do with size or potency of the sting.
              Humans can potentially die if stung by a wasp, a bee or even gnats etc. They can even potentially die from drinking milk, eggs seafood or nuts.

              It is called anaphylactic shock.

              Aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!! Look a giant killer... peanut!!!

              Disclaimer:
              I am not belittling or ridiculing those who do suffer from things like this. For them it is serious.
