Volunteering to help further the cause of science is a noble endeavour, but as Tom Steinfort discovers, being a human guinea pig can also hurt like hell. He has just experienced a spectacular but rather painful adventure around Australia with a group of researchers on an extraordinary mission.
While most people would instinctively run from the dangerous creepy crawlies of the outback, these brave scientists deliberately seek out spiders, scorpions and centipedes, and then invite them to attack. Their aim is to get bitten to understand the pain of the stings. They then use the information, as well as the venom they collect, to develop much-needed medicines and painkillers. It’s amazing work that’s already saving lives.

Thank you ALL *so much* for this work: these scientists, this production, all of it. As a person who has had to live with intractable pain for the last 25+ years with no end in site except my death, this mission could not be more appreciated. Wish I could support more directly. 💜
I’m in tears of joy for people around the world. Thank you universe for all you’ve given us all and all that you’ve taken away.
😀
What
I love 60 Minutes Australia!! I watch it way way more than I do the plain 60 Minutes!! Love it!!
What's a plain 60 minutes? There's 60 minutes in America, in Australia and I believe Mexico has there own as well.
I love it as well - but equally! Our (US) 60 Minutes is a National Treasure! ♥🤍💙
@@DEPORTER_SUPPORTER haha…well apparently you knew what I was talking about!
@@MimiMcWil sort of, you just didn't explain what you meant properly. But it's all settled now.😄👍
Ditto! I think it's the accent paired with amazing stories about amazing people like these scientists who aren't in our MSM because they are so far away.
Even their Inside Edition is really good, imo. It's less tv tabloid news, I find.
When he says the Assasin bug is “pretty painful” what he means to say is “ a searing agony, with notes of flaming torment “
Great job! The world is blessed to have researchers like you.
We need these medications 💊 to survive. More knowledge to you
You have been very brave having yourself stung to experience what these brilliant researchers are talking about. Thank you for a very informative and interesting video!
Wonderful medicine's from the land down under.
Bravo Australia!! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Recently I was a chemotherapy patient. I didn't complete my course because of the side effects and the pain. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. I'm happy to see people working on these issues.
One good thing about the frozen winters here in Canada is we have very few creepy crawlers that can hurt you, 99.9% are harmless. We do have to watch out for rampaging moose tho...
What a shame we can’t harness rampaging moose venom, & develop a preventative medicine for high velocity impacts!
Kings of Pain are doing this is well (without the science lab). Also Jack from Jack's World of Wildlife. These men are being deliberately stung so we can know more about what the venoms and toxins do to the human body. I so appreciate men like this scientist who is helping the world of medicine so incredibly much.
You don't need to be insane to live in Australia, but if you stick around long enough you will be.
Coyote Peterson from Brave Wilderness should work with some of these groups. He has been stung by insects from around the world with some of the most painful bites/stings, etc. For example, the Bullet Ant & the Executioner Wasp.
That was really informative..and I hope to never need any of the treatments ..but its righteous work. Thanks
just an outstanding piece.... great job to all
Good morning and Happy Father’s Day from Edmonton, Kentucky, U.S.A.
Thank you for posting this video. Really interesting.
Yibidibada folks ,thanks for your hard work down under with all your venomous creatures, which can now save lives. All lives matter ❤❤❤
As we say in Japanese Otsukaresama desu!
Thank you so much for all your amazing hard work!
I can barely watch this but at the same time, it’s fascinating!
Thank you all for your work!
Anti-venom has been thoroughly studied a lot of the time you cannot find any available is because they have a shelf-life and it's not profitable for the pharmaceutical companies to produce. Remember greed is far more important than saving lives these days.
Brilliant viewing, thank you Spidys 😊
Some people get off on bites. He is an amazing guy and I pray he stays lucky and well.
I. Cleared a paddock of stones witjh redback spiders under every one. I love spiders but Syney funnel Web spider im careful. Also i had a king brown snake crawl over my boot and into my tent.
Thanks for finally not turning the comments off 🎉
On the Gimpy Gimpy Plant it would also help people like me with fibromyalgia. If it wasn't for all the medications I take, I can't get out of bed. Even with the routine, I fell myself going down everyday
Sorry about the fibro! My husband had to help me up many times. It was scary! I too was diagnosed w/that in 1998, but a few years later we found several disc problems in my spine, so now IDK what's up w/me! Anyway, yes, my doc & I call the meds a "toolbox" b/c there are so many and all necessary (& another pain in my butt!;). God Bless and hope one day these scientists will find a cure for our pain! 💜
@holly0297 Hello fellow Fibromite. XXXX.
Hello fellow Fibromite XXXX.
So important … thanks to all scientists
Kudos to researchers in the trenches like this. No way could I do what this Doctor does even if I wanted to (allergies). But thankful because I take medicines derived from their research. I wouldn't be alive today without ppl like him. Thank you, thank you! Fascinating stuff.
Awesome video! Hope you have recovered from this trip.
Awesome x
Very interesting
very cool 😎. we need more people outthere with this approach to science.
This is an absolute game changer 💯
Love love love this video!
Fantastic - thx from 🇨🇦
Think about the potential medications that are still yet to be discovered in the Amazon!
Thank you very much 👍
Haha, awesome job, Tom! 😺
Amazing sciences..
I made it through 3:30 minutes and I started slapping my legs.😂😂😂!!! Good for him. Actually, I am glad he is not subjecting innocent imprisoned animals to the bites, or stings. Very nice.👏👏👏
I don't even know how I got myself to click on something about spiders in Australia in the first place! 🤣😅😳
Very interesting 👌 👍
Power to Life Itself ✊🏽
Good show!
When he had that spider...🤣🤣🤣
Wow… a rarity that the comment section isn’t closed.
Good
Everything we need is on this planet in some shape or form, we’re just too lazy to look.
Buddy on that shi 🤧😂😂😂
DO IT!!!
Ouch...🇿🇦
Come to Arkansas! We have plenty of venomous creatures for you to try. No suicide plants though.
Mad Man🤪 injects himself with all those venom's/toxins...! Insanity....! Maybe addicted to it...
How did they get a Brazilian Viper in Australia?? Just curious...
were your ears open?? they did say South America!
Ok, that's the most Australian episode of 60 minutes, I've ever seen 😮...☠️🦂🕷️🕸️🐜🐝🐛
😬😬😬
the guy should do a collab with guys from JACKASS all in the name of SCIENCE 🤣🤣🤣‼️
The jumping ant found on fraser island must be helpful. Anything that hurts that bad must be good for something 😂😂
What is more interesting about that stinging tree is there is the odd individual that DOESN'T feel thd pain from these. My father inlaw saw a fellow rub his arms with it to no effect. He still can believe it to this this day. That would be interesting to study.
Bloody STRAYA! init
Wild coyote vibes going on here!!!😁
Nope. Nope. Nope. Just...nope. I mean im glad he's doing it so others dont have to, but.. again, nope.
I've been bittin by heaps of crawlies lol sign me up I need a new day job😄👍
That been said ,it sounds like ur taking on The Man ,,and u know there's someone out there who aint gonna like it
Its funny the videos 60 mins allows comments.
One of the reason Australia is NOT on my go-to list.
Yeah nah, it’s really an amazing place here hey. Yes some things can hurt you, but every rose has its thorn. Go to the tourist spots and ask around about legit likelihood of these things and you’ll probs never even see something deadly. Some snakes in summer in some areas, some cute looking animals that are clearly wild and should be left as any wild animal should be, stuff like that, but honestly, you’re bloody missing out based on some fluff and hype, you only live once mate. ☺️👍
Wait....Ace Inhibitors to keep her cholesterol down? That is incorrect.
Wow comment section open again 😂
Curiosity killed the cat and in some cases the cat survived 😅
You leave comments on now?
Sorry i find laughter in your pain😂
Is it Scientific MASOCHISM?
Its so sad to see that lady saying she must have the drug to keep her cholesterol down ,,,,,,,,!!!!! Why can't she could try eating proper healthy foods to keep her cholesterol down ???
Study genetics.
cool, ima let you guys handle that
Lol
They kind of are Unique
I can't watch that...!
Several companies are beginning to use AI to develop patient specific drugs. Will these scientists complement AI or be replaced by it?
Some assassin bugs carry Chagas' disease, so i hope this guy knows what he's doing....
What a terrible job with great benefits to man lol
🤑🤑🤑🤑
I don't understand the no pain relief comment when dealing w/ cancer. I'm a survivor. Breast cancer and the oral pain meds included Oxy, which worked very well, are they saying Oxy or that class doesn't work or they refuse to prescribe?
People tend to get addicted and then when the prescription runs out, they're buying heroin on the streets.
@@MakerInMotion The pain meds are required whether their is potential to addiction or not. It is 1st and foremost "do no harm"! The Dr's are required to provide all & any pain relief necessary to keep patients from incurring more stress while fight cancer or any deadly disease. We seriously need to stop worrying abt something that might or might NOT happen. Fix what's broken, then go from their.
YOU WEREN'T LISTENING!
He clearly stated, that the pain to which he was refering is caused by very specific cancer drugs which cause the patient to become hypersensitive to both heat and cold.
For a patient who is on these cancer chemotherapies, the PAIN which the patient experiences to anything in which they come into contact with is so EXCRUCIATING, that they choose to stop the treatment, as for them, dying from cancer is preferable to going through months of unimaginable pain, for which there are no drugs strong enough to control it.
@@MakerInMotion
ACTUALLY, NO!
Simply not true!!
Please listen to the video again
@@gailboreham2431 I still don't get why conventional pain meds don't work. I did start my 1st comment w/ "I don't understand"! Chemo is notorious for causing internal body temps to go out of wack, and that is permanent in my case & many others. But pain meds were never denied, and if those didn't work they would try something different. And this was in the days when a phone call to pharmacy was sufficient. Try to hold your insults down. It gets you no where.
Saving lifes? . From who?. Poor spiders.😢. Australia is a gold?. Not, will be hispanoamerica.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
No thank you
I live with snakes and spiders and I run ewwww
no mention of the TV show Kings of Pain? An American and an Aussie go around the world and create a new rating system for the pain index on bites and stings, just nothing that is lethal.
That guy obviously needed to shower with all the flies attacking him.
Nope, flies are that annoying regardless of hygiene in Australia.
And heart damage from Covid vaccines😂😂😂😂
have a woman with bad period cramps do this she won't make a sound
Coyote Peterson wannabe!
Love you 60 minutes Australia when you totally went silent around the Covid vaccine lockdowns you lost all credibility and I stopped watching your damn show. Goodbye.🎉
first
Your wife/gf must be so stoked when u call that out
your wife/gf must be even more stoked that you took time out to your day to me know
No thanks, you go first. Get stung, bitten and chewed on, get the anti venom etc then I’ll try that 🥰
His nuts are twisted lol.
