Schmidt Pain Index - for stings

[Stuart Fullerton]

ya got me. interesting to note that of the 10 critters listed on the index
as given  in the article, 9 were hymenoptera and item number 10 was a
rattlesnake.  sweat bee (halicitidae) had a rating of 1, the bullet ant a
4+ and rattlesnake was "well off the chart".
