In this audio clip, Coyote Peterson, a popular adventure and nature show host, embarks on a challenge involving the bullet ant, a dangerous insect. He is ready and excited, counting down to the moment. After the ant stings him, he expresses shock and pain, describing the stinger as stuck in his arm and the venom spreading. He describes the pain as like being hot, and the arm as swollen and sore. He shares his experience of feeling the venom in his system, describing the after effects of the sting and the waves of pain he experiences. He also explains that because the stinger got stuck in his arm, he took more venom than a typical sting would yield, which gives them the opportunity to observe the effects of the venom on his system. He shares the presence of an epinephrine pen, a satellite phone, and a product called Sting-Kill, which he uses to treat the sting. He demonstrates the use of the sting wipe from Sting-Kill, which helps to cool off his arm and numb the pain. He also shares that the sting wipe worked effectively.
