What is the most painful animal strike?

The Monkey Man · 06-22-2009, 01:57 PM

Not the most deadly type of venom, but the most agonizing pain causing bite/strike/sting?

Have you ever been seriously bitten or stung? explain.

bio-chem · 06-22-2009, 02:43 PM

ive never been seriously bitten or stung, but out of that list ive got to put the jellyfish and the spider on my absolutely don't want to go near list

maniclion · 06-22-2009, 03:46 PM

All of them I would never want to experience but the Stonefish stings and the pain travels through the body and you can even feel it for some time after.....
Here's one story
"I got spiked on the finger by a stonefish in Australia … never mind a bee sting. … Imagine having each knuckle, then the wrist, elbow and shoulder being hit in turn with a sledgehammer over the course of about an hour. Then about an hour later imagine taking a real kicking to both kidneys for about 45 minutes so that you couldn't stand or straighten up. I was late 20s, pretty fit physically and this was the tiniest of nicks. Got sensation back in my finger after a few days but had recurrent kidney pains periodically for several years afterwards."

They say the Bullet Ant rates highest on the instantaneous pain scale but I'd say getting hit with all the pain at once would be better than having it slowly creep up your limb and into the rest of your body.......

I think those sting/bites that slowly eat at your tissues would have to be the worst though cause even after the venom/toxin is gone you'll still be suffering from the gaping wound(sometimes to the bone) and any infection that sets in.....

There are just some fucked up creatures in our world, I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually find some lizard that can squirt an instant flesh dissolving fluid at you like in Alien.....No body has ever reported one because they were killed before they could get away from it......

Had a brown recluse bite many years ago. I didn't even know I was bit at the time but within a few hours it became stupid painful and after a couple of days the bite looked like an alien.

I have an aunt who got bit by one of those years ago...she still has to dress the ankle wound daily...the necrosis still lingers to this day. When she gets stressed or has an immune crash the tissue begins rotting again.

whatever bit you n made you gone so long

Fetusaurus Rex · 06-22-2009, 08:24 PM

hah I was looking up some of these on wikipedia cause I havent heard of them and found this

" I have never been called to attend a case of Gila monster bite, and I don’t want to be. I think a man who is fool enough to get bitten by a Gila monster ought to die. The creature is so sluggish and slow of movement that the victim of its bite is compelled to help largely in order to get bitten. ”

—Dr. Ward, Arizona Graphic, September 23, 1899

"The Satere-Mawe people of Brazil use intentional bullet ant stings as part of their initiation rites to become a warrior.[3] The ants are first rendered unconscious by submerging them in a natural chloroform, and then hundreds of them are woven into a glove made out of leaves (which resembles a large oven mitt), stinger facing inward. When the ants regain consciousness, a boy slips the glove onto his hand. The goal of this initiation rite is to keep the glove on for a full ten 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.[4]'

But they gradually build an immunity to the venom by ingesting incremental doses everyday prior to the actual glove ceremony. If they were to just do it the shock would kill them......

The big timber rattler I killed in my backyard Sunday would hurt pretty damn bad and it also would cause some bad tissue necrosis.
You always hear that a rattlesnake will "rattle".
This one never did. I walked up to him with a shovel and he just sat there. But when I come down on his head, OMG what a mouth and fangs on that sucker.

Awww... That sux...

I always just shoo they away from where people might go...
Then pee in the spot where they were hiding or sunning.

They will usually rattle, then turn and move away.
Some bigger snakes are territorial though, and will just sit and look at you,
like: "I can take you out buddy"

Best way to get rid of a poisonous snake is to stand about 15ft away
and kick dirt at him until he takes off.
Sucks when they crawl under something and you cant get them out.

**I Are Baboon** · 06-23-2009, 02:08 PM

I've read about that nutty little bullet ant.

"Pure, intense, brilliant pain. Like fire-walking over flaming charcoal with a 3-inch rusty nail in your heel." And that pain last for 24 hours.

That's enough to get my vote.

min0 lee · 06-23-2009, 02:09 PM

I have been bitten by wasps and to be honest to me a Mosquito bite is worse.

But that's just me.

yeah, I'd go with the bullet ant. I was watching Survivor Man and he was in the Amazon and found of the those bullet ants and cut it in half with his machete. it was trying to bite the blade even after it was cut in half.

he said that the locals were actually more terrified of those than what they were of the poisonous spiders and snakes in the rainforest, and said that they described the pain something like heating a pair of needle nose pliers to red hot, getting pinched with them while twisting and turning the pliers at the same time.. like you said, for 24+ hours straight.

Only reason I stated other was becuase I've only experianced one of those bites, I've been bitten by wasps and bees and the pain was brief.
Now I once went on vacation to the carribian and was bitten all over my body by giant mosquitoes and developed sores from the bites and had a really bad fever.
To this day they seem to follow me all around..I hate mosquitoes.

I was also attacked by a pit bull....one word....ouch.

IronAddict · 06-23-2009, 04:20 PM

While these spiders, wasps and ants may sting for a bit. I'ma thinking a great white shark bite might leave a permanent mark.

I'm a city boy, never been bitten by anything worse than a bee/mosquito and a dog one time (not bad, but I was young and it kind made me afraid of dogs for a long time).

My brother did step on a sea urchin a couple of days ago while on vacation in Jamaica. He says he's still limping around, and probably will be when he gets back.
