At least 41 people have died from an unusual spate of hornet attacks in central China.
The Shaanxi provincial government said Wednesday the attacks had plagued not only the city of Ankang, where 19 died as reported by the official Xinhua News Agency, but had killed 22 others in two adjacent cities.
All told, 1,600 people have been injured, and 37 of them are in critical or serious condition in hospitals.
I ran and shouted for help, but the hornets chased me
The provincial government says it has mobilized a special medical team and trained more medical personnel to treat victims. The Ankang fire service is reported to have removed more than 300 hornets nests this summer and firefighters have been given protective clothing to battle the beasts.
Authorities says hornets mate and migrate in September and October when they are most aggressive in behaviour.
Zhao Fang, a city government official in Ankong, told the China Daily newspaper that hornet attacks had increased in recent years as the “local ecological environment improved”.
Winters have been getting milder and summers hotter and more humid in Shaanxi, which may have helped caused hornet numbers there to rise.

The Asian giant hornet or Vespa mandarinia, which grows up to 5cm long with a 6mm sting, is believed to be responsible for the attacks.
One man, Chen Changlin, told the China Youth Daily how he was attacked while harvesting rice.
“I ran and shouted for help, but the hornets chased me about 200 metres, and stung me for more than 3 minutes,” he told the paper.
Mr. Chen said hornets first swarmed a woman and child working nearby and they both died.

I received a reefer ctr from Argentina with apples this past July into Toronto. Upon quality inspection our warehouse found this crazy looking pre-historic thing on one apple. Needless to say this costed the grower $6,000 bucks as we had to repack the whole ctr.
