A Sugar Land rock climber who was stung more than 1,000 times in an attack by Africanized bees is telling the remarkable story of how he survived alone in a Belize jungle. It took around half an hour for the 29-year-old to make it to the bottom where he ran to a nearby stream and jumped in the water to drown the bees. “That was a very smart move … he is really lucky,” said Dr. Rana Bonds, allergy and immunology specialist at UTMB. “A 1,000 stings is in the realm of the number that can kill ... the thing that's so dangerous about them is they sting in the group ... and they don't give up easily, they keep pursuing you.”
