A 1-year-old boy is in critical condition after being stung more than 150 times by wasps in a terrifying backyard incident in Georgia, USA.
Little Beckham Reed was playing outside when he was suddenly swarmed by a nest of aggressive wasps. According to his family, the sheer number of stings overwhelmed his small body, sending him into multiple organ failure due to the high volume of venom.
“Due to his age and size and the amount of stings he had, Beckham’s little body just couldn’t handle the toxins,” a family member shared.
