The YouTuber who let a murder hornet sting him says it caused 'searing pain.' Now he says he's done with sting videos.
In his video, Peterson writhed in what he called "searing pain," Peterson's arm ballooned almost immediately and became extremely red. Schmidt pain index
Peterson, who is also a host of his own Animal Planet series, said he undergoes the stings to "educate people." "The thing that drives me is certainly being able to educate people. I don't enjoy pain, I enjoy educating people," he said. By sharing footage of his own stings, Peterson said he can demystify these creatures for viewers. "They're learning a lot about these creatures. In the end, they're learning that these animals are not out to get you," he said.
He's probably done with getting stung: "I'm pretty content with the number of stings I've taken," he said. Murder hornets aren't really going to take over the US, Peterson said — and the executioner wasp gave a much more painful sting.
