The former England ace was filming a jungle expedition for the BBC which will be aired before the World Cup finals in Brazil this summer.
Becks, 38, will be seen camping out in the rainforest, fishing for food, cooking and also coming face to face with some of the native wildlife.
But he was ordered not to go swimming.
Along with piranhas, a nasty eel-like creature called a Candiru, nicknamed the vampire fish, lurks in the waters of the River Amazon.
They are hard to spot as they are transparent and if they target a male swimmer, they can enter the body through the tip of the willy.
Once inside, the spiky-headed fish travel through the private parts and suck blood causing terrible pain.

Well, he could always wear a condom while swimming......
That won’t work. A finger cot might stay on.
It’s funny that you said that. As a matter of fact, there is a very miniature creature in the waters in New Guinea highlands, that just does that. It enters the urinal tract of a human being, and settles in the bladder to lay it’s eggs. It’s very painful to get rid of it, That’s why, when crossing a stream, you must plug every orifices in your body. I chose a condom for the front and a plug for the rear end.
Sounds kinky. I'd just use the bridge instead.
Too much information.....
Heh.
Though I can see how that could be used in an improvised zip-lining crossing. /McGyver
Lots of luck finding a “BRIDGE” in the jungles of New Guinea. I can see, by your reaction, that the most dangerous thing you’ve ever done is cross the street against the light.
Tell me how long you served in our military and we can start the conversation at that point. Deal?
I’m glad you asked that. 1st) I was a POW at age 7 in the Philippines during WW2 (SANTO TOMAS CAMP)Then spent 3 yrs in the Philippine jungle, hiding from the Japs. 2nd) Spent 2 yrs in the military and 40 yrs as a merc. Any other question?
Good to know. Now develop a sense of humor...you sorely need one.
Well, as a matter of fact, I do have a good sense of humor. What I wrote, about doing dangerous things like crossing the street against the light was called “SARCHASM”. Now, let’s talk. What outfit were you in? Where did you serve? You and I have a lot to talk about
When you learn to spell, we can talk.
