Ammon News - A two-year-old boy tragically lost his life after being attacked by a swarm of aggressive wasps while playing with friends in northeastern Thailand.

The toddler, Narathip, also known as Akhin, was cycling with other children near an old rice mill when they were suddenly set upon by the territorial insects in Nakhon Ratchasima on Saturday. While the other kids managed to escape, Narathip was unable to make it too far due to his short legs and tumbled from his bike as the wasps relentlessly attacked him.

His playmates quickly sought help, leading his father to the horrific scene. The determined dad braved the stinging swarm to rescue his son, enduring numerous painful stings himself.

Despite being rushed to Bua Yai Hospital, the toddler devastatingly succumbed to his injuries six hours later. Medical professionals stated that he suffered a severe allergic reaction, which led to a rapid heart rate, acute kidney failure, and ultimately "cardiac system failure". The Mirror
