ant bite on purpose (video)

I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this video, but this host just fascinates me, when you watch the video you'll understand.
he does a similar thing with a kind of tarantula that gets hairs in his eyes... i just don't understand how he can have a show...

Re: ant bite on purpose (video)

I wouldn't even go near that nest!! I dislike ants very very much! I hate the feeling that they might be crawling up my legs and all over me!

He sure is special, even more so once you watch the tarantula video! ughhhh I can't ever imagine doing that!

The tarantula video was really creepy. Those hairs are supposed to be like getting pepper sprayed with little needles. He doesn't even react. He even puts the spider near his eyes on purpose.

AHAHAHAHAHAH that just made my entire day :P

I KNOW! those little tarantula hairs make me shudder!!

Hmm that ant deterrent question is neat, I'll be interested to find out if there is something that keeps them away

I could never ever ever ever let ants bite me on purpose! even with a medical team, I hate the feeling of little bugs crawling all over me, if they don't move/bite they don't bug me, i go crazy when they start moving all over

Re: ant bite on purpose (video)

theres a tv programme over here where the guy goes around the world be stung and bitten by various venomous creatures then being monotrered by a medical team to see his body's reactions to it.

in one episode he wore these ceramonial wicker gloves filled with bullet ants for 2 hours (i think) as part of an initiation ceromony done by a tribe he was visiting its was their transition into to manhood ceromony

it looked damn sore and his blood pressure pulse etc shot up to crazy levels

it was a very interesting programme imo

cheers shaun

Re: ant bite on purpose (video)

Are ants turned off by anything? When we went to Daytona beach for a few months my family was getting bitten like crazy by fire ants but i never got bitten once, even after digging through the fire ant nest for a whip snake. They would climb all over my skin but would never bite.
