He isn't really right.. Wasps don't leave their stingers in because they don't have a barbed stinger, bee's leave theirs in because they have a barb..

Captain, great advise man, but you forgot the most effective treatment.Vinegar man, Vinegar! the vinegar will extract the poison from the skin and will reduce pain quicker than any antihistamine...just adding to your great video:-)

This is like wanna be EPIC but fails. It seemed like one of those animal shelter commercials with the lady and dog with sad music, but instead its a firefighter with a cameraman that zooms in and out!!!
