I don't think it's as bad as a king cobra, but a lot worse than a bee sting. I've read about people who thought they were gonna die after getting hit by one. Capt. John Smith got a stinger in the leg on one of his explorations and went as far as planning his burial. Turns out he recovered fast and ate the culprit for dinner.
