鈥淭hirteen of us came to the Xixi Wetland around 1pm and we were waiting in a queue to enter the park when hornets attacked us. I had to run as fast as I could,鈥 said a tourist surnamed Feng.
The 51-year-old was stung in the arms and in the back of his head. 鈥淚t was like someone was pricking me with needles,鈥 Feng said.
鈥淟ess than 2 percent of people attacked by hornets suffer serious consequences,鈥 said a doctor at the hospital. 鈥淚f you see a hornet nest, stay away from it. If hornets attacking you, try to cover up your head with clothing.鈥
