Hold muh black mamba and watch this —
This guy is a piker. Real men get bit by mambas.
It takes every kind of people, to make the world go round.
I tend to think this man has a strong attraction to masochistic behavior and if it wasn’t via snake venom, he would be ‘researching the effects of sliding single edge razors lightly across the epidermis.
He would tell you that he knows all there is to know about skin density, metallic weight and the variety of cell shapes that cover the human skin.
This is obsessive, manic, thrill seeking behavior that in the right controlled situation, can be of great help to other people. This is the kind of personality who has a very high threshold for pain and an even higher addiction to the resulting adrenaline rush. I heard nothing about him having a girlfriend, or any friends at all.
Lou Bega just asked for Mamba number 5.
Interesting.
I’ve had a somewhat related experience: my first summer in Texas about a decade ago, I was stung by wasps, bees, hornets, etc. over 100 times. No idea why.
On the rare occasion I am stung anymore, I don’t even feel it. Well, except if I’m stung by a “tarantula hawk” wasp. Those still sting a bit. Not much, but a bit. (Note: that sting is considered the second most painful after the bullet ant, which is actually a wingless wasp. Never been tagged by one of those.)
There may be a sugary quality to your blood, fat or skin that is similar to the pheromone given off by certain bees.
From the article: “Between his apartment and a storage closet down the hall, Ludwin owns 17 snakes – 15 of which are poisonous – from all over the world: a Costa Rican coffee palm viper, a Mexican west coast rattlesnake and a green tree python, to name a few.”
I pity this moron’s neighbors.

ugh. There are no poisonous snakes. There are, however, venomous snakes.
It is really not that difficult a concept.
That may very well be true.
What’s odd is that after that first summer, I did not get stung nearly as much.
Probably only been stung 5 times last summer that I noticed - most of which i noticed by seeing the insects land on me and sting with a small welt showing up in a little bit. The other was one of those tarantula hawk wasps. Did feel that one a bit.
It felt my swat a lot more. LOL.
PS They are called tarantula hawks because they freaking hunt tarantulas!
What the HELL kinds of insects you got down south?!
I’m well ahead of this guy on the natural selection bit. I won’t go near poisonous snake and put fort considerable effort not to. Masochist is what I thing they call guys like this.
You could be getting so much bee tail dude.....
Basically, they pretty much all bite, sting, or both. LOL.
He looks 50 in the video. That must be an old photo.

And, if he has developed immunity, it’s not in his DNA.
Actually, the antibodies are coded for in the DNA of immunogenic cells.
