它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 严重被蜇了要去看医生。死亡非常罕见。

如果它蜇人

刮掉蜜蜂的蜇针，冷敷患处。
如果这个人呼吸困难、脸或喉咙肿胀，或感觉要晕倒，这是过敏急症：拨打急救电话，如果他们有肾上腺素笔就使用。

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果被它蜇了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。更多安全知识

事实

When hornets raid a honeybee colony, they kill the adult guards and carry away the bodies and the young, which can destroy the whole colony.1

Some honeybees in Vietnam and other countries in Asia smear animal droppings around their hive entrances. Hornets spent less than half the time at entrances once they had spotted these, and 94% less time chewing their way in.1

Hornets rub their abdomens on the hive and nearby plants while they attack. This may be a signal that calls other hornets to join in.1

A single queen was found at Vancouver Harbor, Canada, in May 2019. It is believed to have arrived with shipping and not to be part of a wider population in North America.1

In 2022 and 2023, researchers found four workers in northern Spain. This made Spain the second place outside its range where the hornet has been found.1
