Well, they're here. The Washington State Department of Agriculture announced Friday that it trapped its first Asian giant hornet.

It's recommended that "If you believe you have encountered an Asian giant hornet, calmly leave the area,"

Yeah... calmly.

Takes off running.

Right? It's like what they recommend, when you're snorkeling among the coral reefs, and a shark shows up. "Swim slowly to shore", no sudden or rapid moves.

Sure.

I'm just thinking...couldn't they come up with some heavy-duty spray you could carry in your pocket, in case you encounter one of those things? (One or more--aaaackkkkkk!) IDK, something like pepper spray, or whatever? Anything! Where are the chemical engineers, when you need them?
