You guys should get a thermal camera to show the heat of the skin compared to what happens normally. Would be very interesting to see how the human body reacts to all these different types of stings.
Different channel did it with this plant. Much lighter sting but the area did warm up. I assume if you look up gympie gympie sting you'll find the video.
I think he actually does pay attention to what he says at the part where he gets up from sitting and the camera turns to Trent. Check min 12:08 to 12:10
Many years ago an Australian soldier used the leaf of this plant to wipe his backside after relieving himself, he shot himself shortly after due to the pain.
4 months later and STILL feeling symptoms of that plant. Honestly, that's insane. He waited 4 freaking months to upload this, just to be able to tell the world how long an estimated recovery is. This plant could be effective for life.
Imagine how bad it was for the people who discovered this plant by using it as toilet paper... And that's not an exaggeration, some of them really did commit suicide! Honestly, I don't blame them... Imagine getting the needles into anything sensitive, like your eyes.
You guys are both 100% right. The unexpected victims who get it so much worse and in awful places, as well as the on-going issues/flare ups to follow. What a nightmare
@@ArtisChronicles yeah I remember hearing about that myself there have also been several cases of 3 to 5 years later aswell. Like I get he does it to try and be educational but there is a limit between educational and just plain stupidity
Been stung by the Gympie Gympie bush on one leg, foot to knee, in the Whitsundays, QLD Australia. Pain was excruitiating. Had to drive myself to a doctor, nearly blind from pain. He used a scalpel to remove outermost layer of skin (which is dead) to reduce number of needles. I felt pain for months, especially in the shower. Far far worse than box jellyfish, redback spider, etc! 😮
@@JD5RookieOfYear2024 After the doc removed dead skin with the needles, it died down after a few days, then it became intermittent when having a shower etc for maybe 8-9 months. This was not severe though, more like a bit annoying. Thank heavens!
@@zakosist Coyote definitely hams it up sometimes, though. There's another TH-cam channel that somewhat challenges his stings and stuff like that and they don't react nearly as dramatic as Coyote does lol. Like yeah it hurts, but you're not gonna be rolling around on the ground and screaming in pain. Maybe their pain tolerances are just very far apart, but I definitely think he does it for the dramatic effect.
@@Lovell93 They're looking for clicks just like any other youtuber. Pain tolerance is different for all types of people, I know one of them Jack, has the pain tolerance of a demigod. He took a severe black widow bite and was in a 9/10 pain on HIS pain scale, and he was calm and collected about it. If it was *JUST* coyote, i'd be like okay yeah, but his experiences match much of what Dr Schmidt who made the insect sting pain scale had written down. Infact there is a cool interview coyote got to do with Justin before he passed away. Just because the effect isn't the same, doesn't mean someone else is lying. There is a ton of variables, length of sting, species of insect, size of the insect, their own personal pain tolerance; for example jack and his buddy that I forget his name he has a similar channel, did an episode about the brazillian wandering spider, and hyped it all up as they were daring to hold the actual brazillian wandering spider, but it wasn't; it was a different species (not p.fera. or p.nigriventer) So i'm not ready to condemn coyote yet; just because of their subjective experiences, ya know?
I like how Coyote is in the middle of what's considered the most painful plant induced pain and he goes on to educate us about the similarities of pneumatophores in jelly fish stings. What a legend.
@@LOLzum101it’s because they are basically “restricted” to show their emotions. They don’t have the normal requirements to show the emotion. Like that deer who’s back was just RIPPED off. It couldn’t show its emotions.
Having at least two separate people create their own sting index could also show us how subjective or objective the rating really is, how many of the insects and other stinging things will get rated in the same order according to each other?
Haven't watched it all the way through but the gimpy is known for people unaliving themselves due to the pain. So I figured it's mentioned and that is why the discretion is there.
@@redbear2113 that was a pretty damn fascinating thing to learn in vid, i didn’t think about that being a way for the “suicide awareness” tab to be plopped under by YT but definitely get it.
I grew up with these things around, we walked everywhere in the forest like it was full of land mines. Whatever you do, don’t find yourself trying to navigate around them in the dark!
The fact that this man is in immense pain and is still committed to talking to the camera and telling the audience exactly what's going on is incredible.
@@BrownTrout1238 "Immense pain" = intense pain. Which he does feel during filming, and is still dedicated to narrating his experience, which is admirable imo.
@@BrownTrout1238 also the pain from this particular sting lasts several weeks. If you think you can get stung by it and suffer no effects because of some painkiller, then you're simply wrong.
What's most impressive to me is the fact that the leaf has bite marks out of it from some small and far-from-insignificant insect that have been eating this terror.
Dendrocnide moroides serves as the host plant for larvae of the white nymph butterfly.[3][5] A variety of insects feed on the leaves, among them the nocturnal beetle Prasyptera mastersi and the moth Prorodes mimica, as well as the herbivorous red-legged pademelon, which is unique among mammals in being apparently immune to the plant's neurotoxins.[17] Fruits are eaten by various birds that distribute the seeds in their droppings.
I think the most terrifying thing about this plant is how innocent-looking it is. It looks like any other ordinary plant you might come across while on a hike or something. Truly scary.
Usually every animal/plant looks ordinary and don't seem harmful thats why ppl need to really look into whats in the places they go to thus animal species plants even terrain area
I got stung by this plant when I was about 16 in the exact same place. The friend I was with, along with my family all thought I was over reacting. Happy to watch this and feel validated lol
Yeah exactly! Usually nature makes things bright red or scary looking when it hurts, but here it's just a tini tiny cute leaf, well not tiny but you get it
I've been bit by the stinging nettles here in Northeastern US. Their syringe-hairs can affect just by being close to it. The fact that he went under the plant I mind-blowing!
When I visited Julatten in Queensland there was a fenced off Gympie Gympie with warning signs all around it. Even just sitting under these things can have effects. I've heard tales of soldiers doing their WWII training in the rainforests, coming across these lovely big, soft looking leaves and thinking they'd make ideal toilet paper... you can see where this is going.
Idk about that one mate. Fellow Aussies can be just as scary, especially if you see a wild Aussie walking through the bush at night. You never know what could happen. But you'll just tell yourself "nah, she'll be alright."
Only in Australia you get the most scariest and deadliest things in the world. From deadly plants 50 ft spiders mini Godzillas you name it every syfy experience there is.😂😂😂
As an Australian who's had an encounter with the Gympie-Gympie,I can confirm that you will never forget your encounter with this plant... There's nothing i can say to descibe the agony accurately..
@@thenotoriousarmstrong3.0then how do you know he’s overreacting to the gympie? He does put on a show since this channel is mainly for children, but it’s still very painful
Also to make lots of money as well. Pretty smart knowing he's not going to die but make tons of money from this, and also teaching us about it. One of the best TH-camrs out there. A TH-camr who educates you is definitely someone I'd subscribe to.
@@alphacino3514Oh yeah? I would like to see the way you react if you was to go thru the things he went thru. I think you would “overreact” even more 🤷♀️
@@adrianahinkova5932look at when he did the bullet ant glove. Now look at other TH-camrs and over people posting their experience they don’t react as much hell even one Yter had little to no reaction to it
Several years ago, a good friend/colleague (the late Justin Schmidt, whom Coyote also knew and who is also famous for his study of stings) and I were discussing how, when one goes out into the deserts, it's the plants that do most of the "attacking", especially during the daytime. The venomous animals are mostly hiding. Of course we were referring to plants that have various kinds of thorns, barbs and spurs as opposed to being venomous. I've been in the three eastern mainland states of Australia but have never encountered these venomous plants. I've also been in New Zealand, and I was a bit disappointed that I never saw the nettle tree (Urtica ferox). However, I've been told it's relatively common in the Coromandel Peninsula (on the eastern side of the North Island), so if I go back, I'll try looking there. However, sometimes dangerous plants become rare because people make an effort to seek and destroy them, so parks and preserves end up being the plants' "refuges".
Thank you Coyote for taking this one for the team. For showing us the EXACT reason why it is not smart for us to do certain things. Such as shake hands with a crab. Hug a particularly spicy plant. Or poke a literal hornet’s nest.
My mate & I were climbing down a mountain after a gold prospecting trip near Cairns Nth Qld, when he slipped off the ridge we were on and tumbled through the rainforest crashing straight into a massive patch of stinging trees. He wasn't wearing a shirt at the time & got covered from the front to his back, face, arms & legs... everywhere. We still had 2 hours trekking ahead of us to get back to our truck. He was in so much pain from tensing his whole body, he burst all the blood vessels in his eyes. I thought he was going to die, I had to keep screaming at him to keep walking or he wouldn't make it out of here. Unfortunately, the lower section of the mountain was so thick with vines. The fastest way out, was swim to rest of the way down which caused even more pain. I had to put my arm around his keeping him above water, so he didn't drown. That transferred the stinging needles on to my arm, so I got just a little taste of what he was going through. After he got out of hospital, we took him to a beauty salon to get waxed. Apparently, that was meant to help remove the stinging tree needles out of his skin. Some people have used them as toilet paper out in the bush, not knowing what the plant was lol...!! imagine that.
I was on my own when I was stung on just one leg, inland from Airlie Beach. Had to drive to a doctor, nearly blind from pain. I reckon your mate was lucky to not have a heart attack! Respect for your efforts to get him to a hospital ! 👍 🇦🇺
That's wild bro good job on yall for making it out of there. Not enough humans anymore understand the very real situation of "if you stop now you will die", and most of people these days would stop
So often I have been afraid this time he might die. Wishing he'd stopped doing it... but I come back watching, fascinated, and give it clicks and likes and so pay him to go on. 😢
I think one of the most interesting parts of this is that Coyotes pain tolerance has significantly increased after taking many bites and stings over the years, many of which were filled with venom. Its interesting how when taking the Bullet Ant sting the first time, Coyote was writhing on the ground in pain, but now, comparing this plant on the SAME LEVEL AS THE BULLET ANT and many other stings that were that painful, Coyote seems to have maintained his composure much more than before. I think that shows the great adaptability of the human body. We may not be as strong or as fast or as durable as many other animals, but our bodies do learn from experiences and adapt in order to be prepared for the next time such a thing happens. Like exercise and training muscles I would say that increasing pain tolerance works the same way with the body. Great video, Coyote, you've come a really long way and its paying off. 🔥
I wouldn't jump to such an arbitrary conclusion without any actual evidence. Look at all the other people who were stung by bullet ants. None of them reacted anywhere close to how he behaved in the video (except for if you watch a Tik Tok or similar bs, I guess). My proposal in opposition to yours is that he dialed back the overacting. And I've seen so many reactions to multiple stings that were much calmer than his that I still can't really believe him anymore when he talks about pain. If his pain tolerance had actually increased, there would have been no comparison with a bullet ant. It would mean that an equally strong venom for him would feel *less painful* than it does for other people. For it to be comparably painful, it would have to be a *stronger venom* and his composure would have to be *the same* as when he got stung by the ant. Pain tolerance doesn't mean you're calmer under pain or have better composure. It means you feel less pain overall from the same amount of damage.
@@Nitidus You're like the wildlife youtube version of those people who look at world class athletes and deadlift record holders and say "I could totally do what they do too", huh? Come back when you've been stung by something worse than a bumblebee.
@@chloway420for most of them i kinda doubt it-maybe within the same species but like, plant venom versus ant venom versus wasp venom are very different types of venom so while he might build up pain tolerance and immune reaction to mild stings (mosquitoes bumble bees etc)but not to everything ya know
There’s already a man in asia if I remembered it correctly. That injects a very small amount of snake venom to himself almost daily. He developed some sort of immunity to that specific venom
There's a tree nettle in New Zealand called Ongaonga, or Urtica ferox. It's not reportedly as painful as the Gympie Gympie, but it needs more publicity if you're ever in NZ since it's common in the NZ bush where some people come to do camping and hiking tracks. It's actually deadly if you get stung enough (basically embedding yourself in it), but the kind of stings you'd be doing are painful but ultimately harmless.
Actually I wonder how it compares to childbirth. Some people claim it to be the worst pain in the world. If that were true, it would suggest 2.2 billion people (28% world population) to have went through more pain. Can we get a mother to join Coyote's adventure?
It's more than the brain floods itself with dopamine and oxytocin and memory inhibiting chemicals to keep the mother from remembering the pain, or looking back on the experience fondly regardless of the pain. That's right, the body gaslights itself to block out the trauma of pushing out a bowling ball sized human.@@KermitTFYT
@@KermitTFYT I'm simply asking for some empirical evidence in pursuit of knowledge. I'm not picking sides and there's no need to bring politics into this. If you don't have any evidence you can stfu.
It's crazy how something that looks so harmless from a distance can be so painful. I recognize insects and reptiles as being dangerous because many give off warning signs, but this is just a leaf that dangles in the wind, but if you brush against it you're in for a world of pain. Nature can be terrifying.
Perhaps, but human beings and what we're capable of (Nukes) are far more terrifying. We already have enough nukes to end ALL LIFE on this planet a few times over. It's only our rationality & mercy that has kept us from completely destroying the world & that may not last much longer (WW3).
So, Im an Australian who works FIFO in Far North Queensland. Most of the time they're light brushes against the skin, though I did hear of a local dying from cardiac arrest after slipping into a bush of them. Another person I worked with got it on his leg and it took 11 months for his leg to stop hurting in the shower. The cook thing about the plan though, is because of the nature of the needles and toxins, you'll likely feel more intense pain from other stings in that area for the next 3-6 months according to the locals Also... imagine that water BEFORE the mud :)
In case I've never stated this on any of your other videos, thank you for all that you do. I appreciate seeing your perspective when it comes to these, stings, bites, nettles, etc. This is truly educational. Thank you!
This man is a real hero scientist. Sacrificing himself as a human test subject, but only when knowing that he'll survive to convey the results. The man will endure possible lifelong pain to inform and possibly save others from the same fate.
Brave man. I had a friend of mine brush a gympie plant with his leg. In severe pain as you would expect. Tried wax strips didnt work still in pain. I then remembered a remedy a long time resident told me. Sounds crazy but it worked almost instantly. A watered down solution of 33% pool acid. Soak a towel in the solution and apply to infected area. We did that and within minutes pain was gone and never came back. I know it might sound wacky but it does work
Wish I'd known about that remedy when I was stung in the Whitsundays. We always carried vinegar in the car to use if stung by box jellyfish - and I can attest to that working wonders!
@@SpiralclarityHydrochloric acid is used for pools, and I've read some reports suggesting it for Gympie - but I'd be *very careful* to ensure it's diluted. I drove - almost blind with pain - to a doctor, who used a scalpel to scrape away the top dead layer of skin. That did remove a lot of the barbs, but not all, and the remainder flared up occasionally for months, esp in the shower. 😬
Honestly, I used to be sort of sad that the best performing videos required Coyote to put himself in danger, and that does still suck. But I see now that you guys have really taken this formula and made it a fully educational experience for viewers, but as a warning and wrt treatment. So, hats off to you man, you're a real one, and I hope it doesn't cause too much chronic pain.
@@RyanYoxo of course you can die from pain wtf there is a reason we pass out from to much pain and if the pain is bad enough you entire system could shut down
@@rydogjkjr3325 it’s only mild venom though. There’s a dude who gets bit by dangerously venomous snakes and they used his blood to make ALOT of antivenin. I don’t remember his name but he is in the Guinness book of world records. I’m talking about casually taking cobra bites which are like top 2 for most deaths per year of snake bites. What Coyote does is lightweight, but understandable, never take dangerous risks for entertainment Also toxins break down when in the body, they don’t just stay in a big pool building up, so he really has nothing to worry about unless allergic.
The worst I’ve ever experienced is a brush with stinging nettles here in Central Texas. It wasn’t horrible, but it was worse than I imagined it would be. I can’t even imagine that pain cranked up to 100…
Yea stinging nettles are a pain I was at states for cross country crossing in between brushes watching the girls team right before my race I got rubbed with some it sucked for a bit but duck tape worked
Some nettles are stingier than others, and I hear their stings are nastier when they’re young. Some nettles are barely itchy, while others have stung the crap out of me.
Stinging nettles are common used in Poland, people would sleep on a bed of it because it would boost their immune system. I just brush my arm or slap them on my body on walks or hikes. They only last an hour unless you get hit with old ones could last 3-5 days.
So great to know how deadly this plant is. I went to search about this plant online and the pain can last for months on Coyote. Hope you’re doing well Coyote.
when a man who probably has the strongest immune system and skin in the world says "this was a bad idea" while on the verge of tears shows the power this plant
I salute you for pouting yourself through this just to educate people, i hope that your body doesn't all the sudden react bad to where you have a really serious allergic reaction .
I’ve watched this guy for years & I’ve got one thing to say HOW IS HE NOT DEAD. He’s been stung countless time by insects Stung by Fish Biting by Turtles, crocodiles and Leeches. How is he not permanently physically injured or missing some limbs. Coyote is incredible that he can go through all of that.
Watching Coyote seriously fight to keep his cognizance and self control staying still for those few minutes was something truly Herculean. That's some serious willpower!
The amount of times I have watched this dude when I was 5 I would always show my mom I can’t believe he’s still kinda doing it I just love this dude thank you coyote for everything❤
Love your content Coyote as always and the information and awareness you bring with your videos. But we also care about your health and well-being. Take care of yourself. ❤
When my brother and I were young he grabbed one as he was sliding down a bank . We were at my aunt's place which bordered a national park rainforest in south east Queensland. He drove his hand straight into the mud in the creek . He said it really helped. We were taught that the sap from the cunjivoi plant was an effective pain killer for the Gympie Gympie sting . The two usually grow close by one another 😊. I never tested the theory 😅
We have a similar thing in the UK with stinging nettles usually there's a plant Dock leaves that is used to remove the Barbs and soothe away the pain, 😊👍
@@jack1d1XB interesting. Isn't nature incredible.We have stinging nettles here too. A lot of the time it's around farm land. It's usually a shortish plant you can boil it up and make a tea from it if you boil it enough
Coyote is that guy that takes on any challenge, I appreciate this guy for his hard work and for facing dangerous animals and plants in the wild. Excellent work from the Brave Wilderness crew!
As an Australian this was bad from the get go. Stories of people having chronic pain indefinitely from these bad bois. Kudos. Also a story of a guy in the military years ago who went into the bush to take a #2 without toilet paper. Found this leaf.... platoon found him with a self-inflicted shot to the head. Stay safe x
Had a neighbor do the same after falling backwards onto one of these. Heard a bang coming from his shed roughly 20 min after he stopped screaming the poor fella.
When this video was announced and was worried for Coyote going into it, and I am still worried a bit about his dedication going in to challenging the most painful insects/plants he can - but I admire him doing it, too since he’s able to take this information and use it for educational purposes. A king through and though.
😂 my cousin used to dig up stinging nettles by the roots and chase us with them, beating us with them like whips. Not great memories, but I can laugh at them now. Closest approximation I can say is I fell in an ant hill taller than me when I was like 6 in Texas. I legit blanked out the pain and recovery period after the initial freak out, it was so bad. I can't imagine falling full bodied into stinging nettles though. Are you talking about the stinging nettles in America, or these in the video? I really hope you mean the former, because the latter I feel like would cause psychological damage 😥
I did the same apart from my mates dad was playing football with me and I bounced off him and I landed down a hill in nettles and I’ll never forget that experience
8:34 Your editors are from the UK, aren't they? ;-) Seriously though, I didn't expect this one to be that bad... Thanks for always taking the heat for us!
The reaction is so on point! As someone who has been stung by this plant, Coyote is not exaggerating… at all The leaf graced my leg while biking through the forest and I thought I was going to die!
@@kileyc9080There have been reports of the pain lasting anywhere between a few months to 10 years. Medically, there is no medicine for it. Only cure is removal of the nettles from the skin, which, is difficult because they bury themselves under the skin.
The way he stuttered as he was talking about the rain😂😂 this man is a national treasure😂😂 legend status I’m convinced nothing can kill him his immune system is so jacked
"Ryan says he's got gympie gympies on his land. He knows because he's been stung by them." Ryan: *shows up in Crocs and shorts to go hunt gympie gympie* Friggin' Australians, man.
I think coyote may be at a world record for getting the most bug bites and plant stings. I dont know anyone else who has done all this pain at all for education. Might as well get into the book of world records. ❤
i’m so happy you wait while before up loading this cause i wanted some long term results i’ve heard it can last up to 10 years and apparently showering is hell but you’re a legend for going through this for our knowledge and entertainment
I love how this video got a suicide and crisis hotline attached to this video because he hurt himself THAT bad. other than that, huge respect to this man for going through this pain just to entertain us all! This channel was literally my childhood
I think the hotline is attached cause the first title has been „stung by the sui cide plant“. If u use the word youtube does that automatically 🙈 Crazy impressive Videos
risks his life? well technically yes in the strictest definition.... but in practice and reality, no not really actually. yes people can have bad reactions but..... he has a crew on hand ,often including medical staff there or nearby he isn't ending up in a realistic situation here,surely you must understand that right? these are scripted,controlled,regulated, they plan and prepare, he controls nearly all factors, in a real life scenario you can't ensure one leaf on one arm,one sting on one finger etc etc. i enjoy and appreciate his videos too, but everything he does, aside from aforementioned safties, he also has information from professionals and individuals affected, allowing for insight and deciding how to safely carry out the experiment in a controlled environment. not very risky for most these things,especially if he's a healthy adult without severe medical issues, it's just going to be pain.
Should Coyote do more stinging plant episodes?? Let us know below!
Yea!
Edit- OMG THX FOR LIKESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Maybe their pain tolerances are just very far apart, but I definitely think he does it for the dramatic effect.
@@Lovell93 They're looking for clicks just like any other youtuber. Pain tolerance is different for all types of people, I know one of them Jack, has the pain tolerance of a demigod.

If it was *JUST* coyote, i'd be like okay yeah, but his experiences match much of what Dr Schmidt who made the insect sting pain scale had written down.
Infact there is a cool interview coyote got to do with Justin before he passed away.
Just because the effect isn't the same, doesn't mean someone else is lying. There is a ton of variables, length of sting, species of insect, size of the insect, their own personal pain tolerance; for example jack and his buddy that I forget his name he has a similar channel, did an episode about the brazillian wandering spider, and hyped it all up as they were daring to hold the actual brazillian wandering spider, but it wasn't; it was a different species (not p.fera. or p.nigriventer)
So i'm not ready to condemn coyote yet; just because of their subjective experiences, ya know?

Love is pain. The Gympie Gympie plant has been rejected before, but it still puts itself out there looking for love.
Coyote could LITERALLY create his own sting index! He's been bitten by both plants and animals and it's wild the diversity of experiences he's had
Having at least two separate people create their own sting index could also show us how subjective or objective the rating really is, how many of the insects and other stinging things will get rated in the same order according to each other?

Dendrocnide moroides serves as the host plant for larvae of the white nymph butterfly.[3][5] A variety of insects feed on the leaves, among them the nocturnal beetle Prasyptera mastersi and the moth Prorodes mimica, as well as the herbivorous red-legged pademelon, which is unique among mammals in being apparently immune to the plant's neurotoxins.[17] Fruits are eaten by various birds that distribute the seeds in their droppings.

Several years ago, a good friend/colleague (the late Justin Schmidt, whom Coyote also knew and who is also famous for his study of stings) and I were discussing how, when one goes out into the deserts, it's the plants that do most of the "attacking", especially during the daytime. The venomous animals are mostly hiding. Of course we were referring to plants that have various kinds of thorns, barbs and spurs as opposed to being venomous.
I've been in the three eastern mainland states of Australia but have never encountered these venomous plants. I've also been in New Zealand, and I was a bit disappointed that I never saw the nettle tree (Urtica ferox). However, I've been told it's relatively common in the Coromandel Peninsula (on the eastern side of the North Island), so if I go back, I'll try looking there. However, sometimes dangerous plants become rare because people make an effort to seek and destroy them, so parks and preserves end up being the plants' "refuges".
Thank you Coyote for taking this one for the team.
For showing us the EXACT reason why it is not smart for us to do certain things.
Such as shake hands with a crab. Hug a particularly spicy plant. Or poke a literal hornet’s nest.
My mate & I were climbing down a mountain after a gold prospecting trip near Cairns Nth Qld, when he slipped off the ridge we were on and tumbled through the rainforest crashing straight into a massive patch of stinging trees. He wasn't wearing a shirt at the time & got covered from the front to his back, face, arms & legs... everywhere. We still had 2 hours trekking ahead of us to get back to our truck. He was in so much pain from tensing his whole body, he burst all the blood vessels in his eyes. I thought he was going to die, I had to keep screaming at him to keep walking or he wouldn't make it out of here. Unfortunately, the lower section of the mountain was so thick with vines. The fastest way out, was swim to rest of the way down which caused even more pain. I had to put my arm around his keeping him above water, so he didn't drown. That transferred the stinging needles on to my arm, so I got just a little taste of what he was going through. After he got out of hospital, we took him to a beauty salon to get waxed. Apparently, that was meant to help remove the stinging tree needles out of his skin. Some people have used them as toilet paper out in the bush, not knowing what the plant was lol...!! imagine that.
Bro this story was better than the video. Like dawg…. That was crazy.
I was on my own when I was stung on just one leg, inland from Airlie Beach. Had to drive to a doctor, nearly blind from pain. I reckon your mate was lucky to not have a heart attack! Respect for your efforts to get him to a hospital ! 👍 🇦🇺
The toilet paper thing is a lie. How would you get the leaf to the anus without being stung.
That's wild bro good job on yall for making it out of there. Not enough humans anymore understand the very real situation of "if you stop now you will die", and most of people these days would stop
Was his groin swollen?
My heart genuinely winced in fear for Coyote when he said "This was a very bad idea"

He says that for all his stings, the scolopendra being the worst.
So often I have been afraid this time he might die. Wishing he'd stopped doing it... but I come back watching, fascinated, and give it clicks and likes and so pay him to go on. 😢
Every video is a bad idea.
Felt like there were about 6-8 ads when I watched this video. Watched all of it fully as thanks for your sacrifice. ✊🏻
I think one of the most interesting parts of this is that Coyotes pain tolerance has significantly increased after taking many bites and stings over the years, many of which were filled with venom. Its interesting how when taking the Bullet Ant sting the first time, Coyote was writhing on the ground in pain, but now, comparing this plant on the SAME LEVEL AS THE BULLET ANT and many other stings that were that painful, Coyote seems to have maintained his composure much more than before. I think that shows the great adaptability of the human body. We may not be as strong or as fast or as durable as many other animals, but our bodies do learn from experiences and adapt in order to be prepared for the next time such a thing happens. Like exercise and training muscles I would say that increasing pain tolerance works the same way with the body. Great video, Coyote, you've come a really long way and its paying off. 🔥
I wouldn't jump to such an arbitrary conclusion without any actual evidence. Look at all the other people who were stung by bullet ants. None of them reacted anywhere close to how he behaved in the video (except for if you watch a Tik Tok or similar bs, I guess). My proposal in opposition to yours is that he dialed back the overacting. And I've seen so many reactions to multiple stings that were much calmer than his that I still can't really believe him anymore when he talks about pain.
If his pain tolerance had actually increased, there would have been no comparison with a bullet ant. It would mean that an equally strong venom for him would feel *less painful* than it does for other people. For it to be comparably painful, it would have to be a *stronger venom* and his composure would have to be *the same* as when he got stung by the ant. Pain tolerance doesn't mean you're calmer under pain or have better composure. It means you feel less pain overall from the same amount of damage.
@@Nitidus You're like the wildlife youtube version of those people who look at world class athletes and deadlift record holders and say "I could totally do what they do too", huh? Come back when you've been stung by something worse than a bumblebee.

@@chloway420for most of them i kinda doubt it-maybe within the same species but like, plant venom versus ant venom versus wasp venom are very different types of venom so while he might build up pain tolerance and immune reaction to mild stings (mosquitoes bumble bees etc)but not to everything ya know
There’s already a man in asia if I remembered it correctly. That injects a very small amount of snake venom to himself almost daily. He developed some sort of immunity to that specific venom
He cannot donate his blood tho because it adapts to that many poison
There's a tree nettle in New Zealand called Ongaonga, or Urtica ferox. It's not reportedly as painful as the Gympie Gympie, but it needs more publicity if you're ever in NZ since it's common in the NZ bush where some people come to do camping and hiking tracks. It's actually deadly if you get stung enough (basically embedding yourself in it), but the kind of stings you'd be doing are painful but ultimately harmless.
Coyote’s left forearm has been through more pain than most people as a whole
Actually I wonder how it compares to childbirth. Some people claim it to be the worst pain in the world. If that were true, it would suggest 2.2 billion people (28% world population) to have went through more pain. Can we get a mother to join Coyote's adventure?

Another person I worked with got it on his leg and it took 11 months for his leg to stop hurting in the shower.
The cook thing about the plan though, is because of the nature of the needles and toxins, you'll likely feel more intense pain from other stings in that area for the next 3-6 months according to the locals

Brave man. I had a friend of mine brush a gympie plant with his leg. In severe pain as you would expect. Tried wax strips didnt work still in pain. I then remembered a remedy a long time resident told me. Sounds crazy but it worked almost instantly. A watered down solution of 33% pool acid. Soak a towel in the solution and apply to infected area. We did that and within minutes pain was gone and never came back. I know it might sound wacky but it does work
Wish I'd known about that remedy when I was stung in the Whitsundays. We always carried vinegar in the car to use if stung by box jellyfish - and I can attest to that working wonders!
Pool acid? You mean alkaline sodium hypochlorite?
What kind of pool acid?
@@SpiralclarityHydrochloric acid is used for pools, and I've read some reports suggesting it for Gympie - but I'd be *very careful* to ensure it's diluted.

That did remove a lot of the barbs, but not all, and the remainder flared up occasionally for months, esp in the shower. 😬

When this video was announced and was worried for Coyote going into it, and I am still worried a bit about his dedication going in to challenging the most painful insects/plants he can - but I admire him doing it, too since he’s able to take this information and use it for educational purposes. A king through and though.
I love how he almost never screams while he try’s these stings
Coyote deserves so much credit, guy has not only balls of steel , but also much more willpower than any one of us could possibly achieve.
I’ll never forget when I fell into a bush of nettles as a child it was so excruciating and felt like I was bathing in lava so props to you 😂
Jesus Christ bro
😂 my cousin used to dig up stinging nettles by the roots and chase us with them, beating us with them like whips. Not great memories, but I can laugh at them now. Closest approximation I can say is I fell in an ant hill taller than me when I was like 6 in Texas. I legit blanked out the pain and recovery period after the initial freak out, it was so bad. I can't imagine falling full bodied into stinging nettles though. Are you talking about the stinging nettles in America, or these in the video? I really hope you mean the former, because the latter I feel like would cause psychological damage 😥
I did the same apart from my mates dad was playing football with me and I bounced off him and I landed down a hill in nettles and I’ll never forget that experience
But these were just English stinging nettles
man wtf
What scares me about the Gympie plant is how similar it looks to so many other bush plants. How does anyone easily identify these in the wild???
Believe me, once you've been stung by one they become very identifiable.
The hairs, large leaf
same way you identify poison ivy, which looks a lot like other plants at first glance. You look for little indicators in the leafs/etc
I just started the video and thought it looks like a common boring bush leaf like we have in Germany 😄 but no, it's not the same 😄
You just stay the eff away from anything that looks remotely like it.
8:34 Your editors are from the UK, aren't they? ;-)
Seriously though, I didn't expect this one to be that bad... Thanks for always taking the heat for us!
Wsg bro 0 comments and 0 likes in 10 days is wild
@@wowzers-sv2ym Not my target audience, nobody knows who I am here. 😋
Why the UK??
The reaction is so on point! As someone who has been stung by this plant, Coyote is not exaggerating… at all
The leaf graced my leg while biking through the forest and I thought I was going to die!
Oh wow!! If you don't mind me asking, how long did the pain last? That sounds excruciating! I hope you're better now!
@@kileyc9080There have been reports of the pain lasting anywhere between a few months to 10 years. Medically, there is no medicine for it. Only cure is removal of the nettles from the skin, which, is difficult because they bury themselves under the skin.
Gotta respect this man, he goes through so much pain just to show us all what we should be careful about and to respect nature and things in it
The way he stuttered as he was talking about the rain😂😂 this man is a national treasure😂😂 legend status I’m convinced nothing can kill him his immune system is so jacked
at this point im sure his immune system is better than most people out there
his white blood cells be like: 💪⚪️💪
@@hotbuu10 he literally is just like “can this thing hurt and or kill me? Better run it on my skin or get bit by it”😂
"Ryan says he's got gympie gympies on his land. He knows because he's been stung by them."
Ryan: *shows up in Crocs and shorts to go hunt gympie gympie*
Friggin' Australians, man.
12:20 Haha his camera man talking to the audience and then you see coyote doing high knees across the background! I spat out my drink 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hes trying so desperately do to something, ANYTHING, to get his mind off the pain
Sometimes that's all you can do
16:24 “Ooh the water burns like crazy”
*Continues to pour more water*
I think coyote may be at a world record for getting the most bug bites and plant stings. I dont know anyone else who has done all this pain at all for education. Might as well get into the book of world records. ❤
YOU DIDN'T TAKE A TEST DRIVE. YOU TOOK THE GRAND TOUR.
i’m so happy you wait while before up loading this cause i wanted some long term results i’ve heard it can last up to 10 years and apparently showering is hell but you’re a legend for going through this for our knowledge and entertainment
I love how this video got a suicide and crisis hotline attached to this video because he hurt himself THAT bad.
other than that, huge respect to this man for going through this pain just to entertain us all! This channel was literally my childhood
I think the hotline is attached cause the first title has been „stung by the sui cide plant“. If u use the word youtube does that automatically 🙈
Crazy impressive Videos
all my respect goes to this guy, he basically risks his life for us, been watching him since 2016 and still one of my fav youtubers🙏
He is not risking his life😂🤦🏼♀️
He has tons of safety measures and doesnt mess with anything life threatening. Small brain child
risks his life?
well technically yes in the strictest definition.... but in practice and reality, no not really actually.
yes people can have bad reactions but.....
he has a crew on hand ,often including medical staff there or nearby
he isn't ending up in a realistic situation here,surely you must understand that right?
these are scripted,controlled,regulated, they plan and prepare, he controls nearly all factors, in a real life scenario you can't ensure one leaf on one arm,one sting on one finger etc etc.
i enjoy and appreciate his videos too, but everything he does, aside from aforementioned safties, he also has information from professionals and individuals affected, allowing for insight and deciding how to safely carry out the experiment in a controlled environment.
not very risky for most these things,especially if he's a healthy adult without severe medical issues, it's just going to be pain.
@@bloodlove93bro shut up
@@bloodlove93you must be fun at party ☺️
same
goddamn scariest part of this was right at the end talking about the effects still after 4 months... this thing doesn't give up the fight AT ALL
Most monetizable title
Dam that's dangerous
Please change the title
Stop
@@sathyang6942no, that's the nickname of the plant
@sathyang6942 you shouldn't just ban the word suicide lmao
