there was a show on called “The Kings of Pain” where 2 fellas woudl let commonly poisonous things (as long as the poisons weren’t dangerous/deadly) bite them in order to create a ‘pain index’ for science
They were stabbed by lion fish, stone fish, all kinds of stinging insects- executioner wasps, and other types even worse- bullet ants etc-
it was pretty wild- they have some videos on youtube- I haven’t seen them in a few years though- i think the pain got to them too much eventually- in the show they woudl take you through the recovery days too- where the pain woudl still be going strong days later in some cases- it was a really wild show

Out here in the Arizona desert we have tarantula hawks — very large wasp-like creatures that scurry along the ground looking for tarantula burrows. Once found, it darts down the hole, stings the poor tarantula and lays a clutch of eggs in its juicy torso. The tarantula hawk is alleged to have the most painful sting of all North American insects.
Just when I thought I’d seen everything …
Sounds like a show for masochists. No thanks.
