Powell, who was suddenly attacked by a flock of thousands of wasps, ran into the house with his arms swirling.

But the wasp followed him into the house and attacked him, who fled to the bathroom.

His wife, who was in the house at the time, sprayed water and kicked out a flock of wasps.

Powell said "My wife said at the time that my back had become a carpet of wasps"The seriousness of the situation was explained.

He was confirmed to have been stung by wasps more than 240 times and was able to save his life with prompt treatment.
