Justin Schmidt describes and ranks the pain inflicted by each insect.Lesson by Justin Schmidt, directed by Nicholas Paim, Alopra Studio.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-world-s-most-painful-insect-sting-justin-schmidtDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-world-s-most-painful-insect-sting-justin-schmidt#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://alopra.com/Music: https://soundcloud.com/aim-music----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
