Remember that guy who stung himself with a wasp that can (allegedly) kill a cow? Yeah, well, he hasn't learned from his mistakes.
Coyote Peterson decided to spend his time trapping a bullet ant—which, ya know, is known for having the most powerful sting of all insects in the world—then grabbing it with forceps and smashing it against his forearm until it finally stuck its stinger into his flesh. It turns out that being stung by the most painful insect in the world hurts! Who would have known?
In 2015, entomologist Dr. Justin Schmidt told Esquire that being stung by a bullet ant genuinely felt like being shot:
"It was instantaneous, almost even before it stung me. It was absolutely riveting. There were huge waves and crescendos of burning pain—a tsunami of pain coming out of my finger. The tsunami would crash as they do on the beach, then recede a little bit, then crash again. It wasn't just two or three of these waves. It continued for around 12 hours. Crash. Recede. Crash. It was absolutely excruciating."
And meanwhile, good ol' Coyote went out of his way to force an ant to make him experience this, for some reason. If you want to get to the peak "fuck this guy" part, fast-forward to 10:00, when the action really gets going. I'll recommend once again, Coyote, that you try bingeing something on Netflix instead next time you get bored.
