Australian comedian and radio host Hamish Blake visited an Amazon tribe and tried their crazy ritual which consists of putting your hands in gloves filled with bullet ants (paraponera clavata), a species of ant named on account of its powerful and potent sting that lasts for 24 hours.
The pain 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.
