    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!!!

    You'd look a proper plum if you died after being stung by an egg.

    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
