Pain of sculpin/scorpionfish.
« on: December 11, 2019, 11:36:13 AM »
History has a show on called Kings of Pain where these animal handlers/biologist/bat sheet crazy idiots, whatever your term, deliberately let themselves get bit or stung by animals and rate the pain.

Yeah I know stupid but they went down to Baja and caught a scorpionfish to get stung by and it was one of the worst so far. So you want to see why you handle sculpin with extreme care watch what happens to them.

Coyote Peterson beat them to it. He was getting stung by wasps, giant desert centipedes, Gila monsters, etc...

Link just gave me a preview of the show, no sculpin sting. I swear I remember somebody on a board a few years ago getting hit and their hand swelling like a balloon. I wanna say it was Latimeria actually but I could be wrong.

I love those videos.

You can on demand it or supposedly watch online. I've seen some of Cody's stuff but everyone is different. They didn't have long effects from the Tarantula Hawk said about 1 minute of hell and it faded. He said the Executioner wasp was the worst but these guys while it was high wasn't as bad as Cody had it.

Worst for them were Harvester ants in quantity. I see lots of possible harvester ants in the IV but they don't mess with me.

I've been stung a few times really bad.  I'd rather be hit by a CA Scorpionfish (Sculpin) than a Stonefish though!
You can't catch them from your computer chair.
