Bullet ant glove - Brazilian right of passage

Video of a guy doing it
I think the guy in the video is being overly dramatic but it's still supposed to be really painful. They tie "bullet ants" into a glove and put it on your hand as a right of passage in some Brazilian tribe.

The pain caused by this insect's sting is reported to be greater than that of any other hymenoptera, and is ranked as the most painful according to the Schmidt sting pain index, given a "4+" rating, above the tarantula hawk wasp and, according to some victims, equal to being shot, hence the name of the insect. It is described as causing "waves of burning, throbbing, all-consuming pain that continues unabated for up to 24 hours".[3] Poneratoxin, a paralyzing neurotoxic peptide isolated from the venom, affects voltage-dependent sodium ion channels and blocks the synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. It is being investigated for possible medical applications

I hate wasps and spiders, especially ones the size of my hand.

Yup, considering these tribes people are forced to do it as a right of passage around age 12

In my country, getting laid is considered a right of passage. God bless America.

That's nothing. I wear bullet ant briefs on Mondays.

you missed this gem
frick.
that.
quote:
The goal of this initiation rite is to keep the glove on for a full 10 minutes. When finished, the boy's hand and part of his arm are temporarily paralyzed because of the ant venom, and he may shake uncontrollably for days. The only "protection" provided is a coating of charcoal on the hands, supposedly to confuse the ants and inhibit their stinging. To fully complete the initiation, however, the boys must go through the ordeal a total of 20 times over the course of several months or even years.
frick.
that.
