Would you rather die by being bit by a shark or getting stung by a million bees?

Bitten by a shark. I would probably die faster than by multiple bee stings.

It's like magazineboy never left

i guess, i suppose, if i really had to pick one of these ways to go....may i forever be some shark's lunch

land shark!

bees... it sounds bad, but I heard someone describe a massive bee attack and she said she didn't really feel it after a short while. She was either in shock or the venom was affecting her. It actually cured her arthritis too.

?..this passed without the bitten being corrected....... I'm surprised

BITTEN.

Not bit.

BITTEN.

see, i'm allergic to bees, so even getting stung by a single bee without my shot would kill me. so i'm picking bees, cuz that would be quick for me.

depends too much to say. I would really need more information

Me too! Allergic that is.

Assuming it's as the question is asked a shark bite. Though this is highly improbably to die from a single bite.

How about Ants and Wasps and any other insect with a stinger? My mom has 20 minutes to get to the hospital

Shark bite seem's to be the quickest way to go.

Shark bite sounds faster. I'd probably prefer that.

odd question!

I think the shark bite would probably be quicker due to the loss of blood.

I live about 2 minutes from a hospital I am just glad I do not have any conditions that would require a rapid trip to the ER.

I know that putting wet tobacco on a sting will alleviate the pain, swelling and itching. Have you ever heard anything about if this method actually pulls the poison from the body?

I've heard something to that effect...I've also heard of such home remedies but with bacon instead yech! I'm sure it's out there on the web somewhere.

I would be seriously careful about doing anything with wet tobacco-if left on too long, a person could get incredibly ill. Nicotine is lethal in very tiny doses unless it's being smoked. Weird.

Even though I am deathly afraid of sharks it would probably be over a lot quicker.

All I know is it is a miraculous bee sting cure. It does not take long to get the effects.

It might give you a few more minutes to get to the hospital in an emergency.

I think I'd rather get stung to death.

AHH!! Where is the "other" option?! Ugh. I guess the bees because after a bit I don't think I would feel it anymore, but the shark would be ripping and such. Also, I don't like the thought of being eaten by something. Ugh!!

Well I'm allergic to bees, so I would be dead pretty soon after the first bite, so I'll go for that one.

I really don't see the point in this sort of inquiry.

*shrugs*

shark....less pain than bees. But it would only take one bee sting to kill me.

to you carry an epi-pen? i've carried one for almost 16 years now and i've only used it twice.

i'm not allergic to ants...wasps i'm not sure, but i think i might be considering the extreme reaction i had to a honey bee. does your mom carry an epi-pen with her?

i've heard that a paste made with just salt and water has the same effect (as far as reducing swelling, etc), but i've never tried it.

Hard, hard choice... I pick bees.

I have a couple of phobias; one is stinging insects and the other is water...(deep water)

Who's magazineboy?

At least the pain of a shark bite is "localized"

http://surveycentral.org/user/magazineboy.html

A trollish character from a few years ago. Got a kick out of making utterly nonsensical surveys.

no...she *should* I think the only one that she has is about 2 yrs old so it's probably out of date

Sharks seem less murderous.

That would make a great name for a band.

I picked shark.

Alright... Looks like I missed a couple of funny surveys! I guess it must have been at a time (like this one) when I wasn't around as much. I don't remember him at all.

shark bite - praying the shock would kick in fast..

shark of course.

Would be great fun!!

I got stung by a bee on my wedding day and someone said to put wet tobacco on it. I did and it took the sting out immediately. After an hour you could not even tell I had been stung.

I don't know how you could have forgotten him!!! He was a riot.

Like I said, it must have been in that period where I was often absent - I remember staying away when the whole Phoebe thing erupted. 'Member that?

He was after that if I remember right.

I vaguely remember the name... but I never really paid attention. I guess he wasn't around long enough.

Did you see my post in Forum to you?

She didn't really get a warm welcome, did she? Somehow, I'm not surprised...

*stares in disbelief*

None.

Yep, have one in all my trucks. Never too far away from my trucks!

I'd rather not have either experience.
