?Becoming a man? in the Setere-Mawe society means intentionally letting yourself get stung by these ants. Not just by one but by hundreds of them at once. And not just on one occasion. There, you are not a man until you have done this ritual twenty times.


Twenty times wearing a pair of gloves each laced with hundreds of live bullet ants, stingers pointing inward, for ten minutes at each go. At first it seems like a horrible practice almost on the level of honor killings, but the boys themselves really seem to have a positive outlook on it. And in America, kids cry when daddy gets them the wrong color car for their sixteenth birthday.

Watch the video....

Tee hee....people and their "manliness" rituals.

I accidentally put a sandal-wearing foot through a fire ant hill in Texas when I was adding oil to my car once... that was bad enough.

Lol at the "remote" people riding around in a gas-powered boat.

I like how the woman in Apocalypto used the ants' heads to close a wound.

She put the ant up to the laceration so that it bit the two sides of the flesh together like a suture, then cut off the head to lock it in place.

...which people might have seen and said "BS", but that really is a feasible way to close up a bad wound.
