An Arizona man has survived being attacked by a swarm of 1,000 "killer" bees, local news network Arizona's Family reported.
John Fischer, 60, was out in his neighborhood in the town of Florence with his dog, Pippin, when the bees swarmed. While Pippin was able to run away, Fischer, who uses a wheelchair, was overcome by the swarm when his wheelchair tipped over. Fischer was treated at the hospital, where he was given morphine before having the stingers removed; he said his medical providers found more than 250 stingers in his body. Fischer has since been released from the hospital and is now recovering from the hundreds of stings to his arms, eyes, mouth, ears, legs and back. (Pippin reportedly sustained around 50 stings during the attack and is now slowly recovering after being treated in an animal hospital.)
