Radioactive wasps - what are they not telling us?

Radioactive wasp nest discovered at old US nuclear weapons site

The nest with 10 times more radiation than permitted was found at a facility that once produced parts for US nuclear weapons.

Note that the article studiously avoids using the words "giant" or "mutant".

Watch the skies people!

If you get stung then you will get super powers. I don't see the problem here.

Waspi women?

"A radioactive wasp nest with radiation levels ten times of what is allowed"

Come on now wasps you shouldn't fly 10 times over the limit.

Who knew that we have certain levels a wasps nest can be radioactive.... but Honestly though there are no nuclear waste leaks in the area.... Move along now.

What about two radioactive wasps?

I guess if they team up on you, then yes


I dont like wasps, i got stung in the back of the neck by one years ago, and it hurt bad

I blame a wasp sting for probably ending up in hospital with sepsis.

Probably? As in you're not sure if you did end up in hospital or not

had a mate who as a kid got stung right on the ring piece.....wasp had seemingly flown up the leg of his shorts during a game of footy, at some point he went to bend down for something (maybe pick the ball up for a throw in, can't remember now) and then collapsed screaming. we found it hilarious, well once the teacher had managed to get him to explain what had happened.....he did not. he still doesn't like talking about nearly 40 years later

I was certainly stung on my scalp at the office when I scratched my head. I was certainly taken into hospital three days later and put on an antibiotic drip. The two incidents may or may not be connected but I consider it probable.

Mind automatically went back to that Sliders episode with the giant wasps. Funny how you remember these things

Poo a radioactive queen wasp through the letterbox.

Just how radioactive are wasp nests permitted to be, and who makes that decision? Personally I'd be in favour of zero being the limit of radioactive wasps allowed...
