RE: Top 3 MOST PAINFUL Insect Stings in the World

in #nature7 years ago

This absolutely killer content! I couldn't stop watching! Did you ever hear about Tim Friede? He is the guy who gets bit intentionally by venomous snakes such as the black mamba? This reminds me of that because I couldn't stop thinking about it for years after I saw it. The crazy thing I found out is that the more we are exposed to allergens the more our body becomes immune. It's no comparison but I used to be severely allergic to cats. I tried exposure therapy and it actually worked! Like I said no comparison. Just wanted to say again that this is amazing content!

Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoy.
No I have not heard of Tim Friede, he sounds like a tots bad ass.

It do know that our immunity is generally built up through consistent exposure. I grew up around cats and dogs and was always fine. I moved away, now when I am at home with cats and dogs I am highly allergic to them. My eyes/nose always itch, and certain kinds of dogs even make my face swell up. So I guess we lose the built up immunity whenever we are no longer exposed to that environment for a certain amount of time and decide to return.

And again, thank you for leaving such a detailed comment. I love it!
