WHAT could be worse than stink bugs eating all your tomatoes this summer?

Well, you could be stung by a caterpillar while walking barefoot in the Peruvian jungle, and die, if you didn’t have the antivenom that must be administered within 24 hours.

You might step on an Arizona bark scorpion, suffering near-unbearable pain for 72 hours, not to mention the embarrassment of frothing at the mouth.
