I know this is mostly insect stings but I want to know where a stingray sting stacks up in this madness. I've been stung freaking twice.

I’ve been stung by a stingray before, been stung but lots of things like jellyfish, all sorts of yellow jackets/wasps/bees pretty much any critter south of the mason dixon that can sting you I’ve been stung by.

The cow killer is by far the most painful thing I have ever experienced. Bastard got me on my foot when I was like 12 and that to this day continues to be the pain I measure anything against. They are hard to kill, super aggressive with a stinger 2/3rds the length of their body that feels like a hypodermic needle. Stingray hurt don’t get my wrong but it was like a yellow jacket sting for me, cow killer put me out of commission for a whole day and I had to wear a sandal on my right foot for 3 days because it swelled up so much my foot wouldn’t fit in my normal shoes.
