(tense music)
- [Coyote] Here we go, are you ready?
- [Mario] I'm ready.
- I'm Coyote Peterson and I'm about to take on
the bullet ant challenge.
Are you ready?
- [Mario] Le'ts do it.
- One.
Two.
Oh my gosh, this is it.
Three.
(screaming)
Oh, it's stuck in my arm, it's stuck in my arm!
The stinger's stuck in my arm, look at that!
It's off, it's off, it's off!
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my god, it is really bad.
It is like (grunting) it's hot.
I can feel the venom already right in my forearm.
(screaming)
It is, it's number one.
(adventurous music)
- [Mario] Coyote?
- Yeah?
- [Mario] How you feeling, buddy?
- Sweaty and out of it, actually.
We are about two and a half hours in at this point
and I'll tell you what, one of the toughest aspects
was hiking 45 minutes back out of the rainforest.
I just keep sweating profusely.
My arm, currently, is very sore.
It's red, it is swollen, check this out.
That right there is the mark where the stinger went in,
it's like this permanent welt that just isn't going away.
And you'll notice all of the blotchiness
around the sting zone.
Very, very similar to the velvet ant.
Now when I was stung by the tarantula hawk,
my arm just swelled up like it was full of water,
almost like a water balloon.
This is different.
Not as much swelling, but very, very tender.
All I have to do is touch the skin around the sting zone
and it feels like a bunch of little, tiny needles
going in and out.
And I'm having this after effect where every 10-15 minutes,
it feels as if I'm being stung again.
And then you have these waves of pain that are throbbing,
it's like whoo, whoo.
There's a lot of venom in my arm right now.
We know that cause I probably took,
I'd say two to three times the amount of venom
because the stinger actually got stuck in my arm.
How crazy was that shot, can you believe that we got that?
- [Mario] Definitely was not an average sting.
- No. If you're just stung by a bullet ant,
out there walking, one just whap, tags you
and you do everything you can to get it off,
you're not getting as much venom
as would go in if the stinger was actually stuck.
So it's definitely fair to say I've taken more venom
than the average sting would yield.
But that's good, cause it's giving us
the full opportunity to see the effects
of this venom on my system.
Now I know a lot of you at this point are thinking
okay, Coyote, we're so glad that you're okay,
I know everybody's worried
every time I take one of these stings.
And as we always show you, we have an epinephrine pen
with us just in case I go into anaphylactic shock.
Now the other the thing that we often have
that we haven't shared with you guys before is this.
That's a satellite phone.
All you need to do is press a single button on this
and a Life Flight helicopter will come pick us up
anywhere in the world.
So don't worry, if anything tragic happens,
we're gonna get me out of danger as quickly as possible.
Now whenever we do one of these bite sting episodes,
I like to show you guys the basic first aid
that you could have right in your medicine cabinet
or that you would get from the pharmacy.
But today we're gonna do something
just a little bit different.
- [Man] Are you gonna pee in a bottle again?
- Oh, I didn't even think about that.
Does urine work on a bullet ant sting?
No, sorry guys, sorry Mario,
no pee for this aftermath video.
- [Man] Mario's disappointed.
- That's fine with me, man.
(laughing)
But what we do have is a product called Sting-Kill.
Now this is a company that has been around for a long time
and it's a basic remedy for any insect bite or sting.
Now this one here is an actual sting wipe.
It's got benzocaine and menthol.
Menthol is gonna be fantastic because that's a cooling agent
and my arm is on fire right now.
Don't believe me?
Mar, go ahead and touch the skin there on my forearm
and tell everybody is that warm to the touch?
- [Mario] That is really hot.
You can even tell from the side of your arm
to right at the sting.
- So what I'm gonna do is open this up
and let's see if the sting wipe helps to cool off my arm.
This is nice, these are perfect,
this could fit right in any hiking backpack.
And this is for any basic bite or sting.
Could be a honey bee, could be a hornet.
In this case, it is going to be a bullet ant.
Oh, woah, that's strong, look at that.
Okay, here we go, apply it to the skin.
That's pretty nice.
That is cooling and I can actually feel it
slightly numbing the surface of my skin.
There is definitely a cooling factor going on here,
I can still feel burning deep within my arm
but the actual, yeah,
the surface level of my skin feels cool.
Yeah, that's actually really nice.
Wow, okay.
Now the other product that I have with us is that guy.
This looks like a magic remedy right there, check that out.
Is that bullet ant kryptonite?
We're about to find out.
Maximum strength sting kill.
To use this, what you want to do is just crack
the glass tube that's inside it, ooh, look at that,
that's cool, you see that?
Look at that, yeah, you can see it seeping
right down into the tip there.
First drop, I'm gonna just gently apply that
to the sting zone.
Cool, kind of looks like mutagen
from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Wow.
It is numb.
- [Mario] Is Sting-Kill the real deal?
- Sting-Kill may have just taken away the pain
from the bullet ant.
Wow.
That did, I can't believe that.
That actually just worked.
- [Mario] Really?
- It really did.
I won't lie, I was expecting it to be like
oh, okay, kind of works.
Yeah, my arm is completely numb right there.
Wow, yeah, look at that.
Just a minute ago you couldn't even touch the skin,
when you just touch my arm,
it felt like sharp little needles.
- [Mario] Nothing?
- Nothing, no, totally numb.
That is unbelievble.
I'll tell you this much, we will definitely be using
sting wipes and the maximum Sting-Kill
in our first aid kits in all first aid kits moving forward.
I'm Coyote Peterson, be brave,
stay wild, we'll see you on the next location.
If you happened to miss the bullet ant challenge,
make sure to go back and watch the most painful sting
I've ever taken.
And don't forget, subscribe so you can join me and the crew
on our next location.
I can't imagine how nervous I'm going to be
to be actually stung by it.
