A student got himself stung on his penis by a bee in the name of scientific research. The university student named Michael Smith was out to discover the worst places to be stung in human body.

After getting himself stung on various places including his genitals, buttocks and nostrils, he revealed the worst place you can be stung.

Smith, a student at Cornell University in New York, came to the conclusion that it was his nostrils that hurt the most when stung by a bee, reported the Independent.

The university student said that they had speculated that getting stung in the testicles would hurt the most. However, when he got stung at his genitals two days later, it didn't hurt as much as he had anticipated.

For the study, 25 places were chosen on his body that were to be stung by bees. Some places were really hard to reachand even required the use of a mirror.

Michael Smith's research work has been published in the scientific journal PeerJ.
