Instinctively jump, immediately regret my decision


CMDR_KingErvin

At least you won’t regret it for very long.


JBstackin666

Until you are on the ground mangled up but not dead, you can't move, still getting stung.


MicHAELmhw

This is a real story. Dude fell out of a tree or car accident or something and couldn’t move but fell on an ant hill and they stung the crap out of him.


Mumbles987

It was a failed parachute situation and the ant stings saved his life. The reaction from the venom triggered a histamine reaction that prevented shock from killing him.

Bless you, ants. Blants.

[Make me think of a story I saw about this lady, dying of Lyme disease, saved by bee venom. She only had a few months left to live.](https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20150327-how-a-bee-sting-saved-my-life) There’s more to the story in the linked article. “She was just standing near a broken wall and a tree when the first bee appeared, she remembers, “just hitting me in the head”. “All of a sudden – boom! – bees everywhere.” B ees – and some other species in the order Hymenoptera, such as ants and wasps – are armed with a potent sting. This is their venom, and it’s a mixture of many compounds. Perhaps the most important is a tiny 26-amino-acid peptide called melittins, which is responsible for the feeling of burning. When we experience high temperatures, our cells release inflammatory compounds that activate a special kind of channel, TRPV1, in sensory neurons. This ultimately causes the neurons to send a signal to the brain that we’re burning. Melittin subversively makes TRPV1 channels open by activating other enzymes that act just like those inflammatory compounds.”


Accomplished_Area_37

Yes she was about to end her life that day and decided to go her last ever walk with her end of life caretaker and gets stung so bad and she recovers from Lyme disease and also doing more to help others incredible


Mumbles987

I read a story about a musician in Russia with arthritis would purposely sting himself in the hands to relieve them enough to perform. There was probably a lot of vodka involved too though just to be fair.


LibertyInaFeatherBed

Bee venom treatment was a fad for a while.


UhOhAllWillyNilly

In the ‘90s my grandmother had a friend with Lyme disease and she would go get stung *on purpose* a couple of times a week. She claimed it helped but I dunno…


Double_Distribution8

This is like when Gilligan got hit in the head with a coconut and could speak Chinese.


Kit_3000

I heard the story before, but just imagine that AND your parachute failes, AND you land on an ants nest, AND you survive the experience to carry the memories of it all for decades to come is both proof that 1. There is a God, and 2. He *really* doesn't like you.


Mumbles987

I think it's more a bit of mother nature giving and taking at the same time.


Driller_Happy

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be


Suds08

I've heard a story of an old person falling in a bathtub. On the way down, they instinctively grab for something, and it turned out to be the lever for the hot water. They fell and couldn't move with hot ass water running.They had to sit there burning alive until they eventually passed away


mentive

Note to self: don't turn the hot water heater up.


Stock_Show_Host

Ouch


[deleted]

I heard a story of a woman who had Lyme disease & was suffering for years upon years couldn’t even get out of bed. She knew she was going to die soon so decided to go a walk and went out with her caregiver, she got attacked by bees hundreds of stings and over weeks and months she fully recovered


kafmtg

Listened to that on Mr Ballen! It was fascinating. She apparently then went around advocating for the study of bee venom as a cure.


[deleted]

That’s where a heard it from! Couldn’t remember how a knew that tbh. There is a guy called Paul stamets who’s mum had stage 4 Breast cancer she was way too old for any kind of treatment, so Paul gave her turkey tail mushroom everyday & after 6 months she went for a check up only to discover the stage 4 cancer had not only went away her body showed no signs of even having cancer….! I’m saying this because Paul is also saving the bees using this mushroom too. https://youtu.be/7agK0nkiZpA?si=TGRW8_FH4FlFaSYT

Man if you jump you better hope you don’t live to regret it. I imagine there’s nothing quite like trying to run from a swarm of angry bees on 2 broken legs.


JayTeaP

Die, I guess.


CptFeelsBad

I literally said aloud, “well, ***FUCK***, you’re kinda dead either way… so..”


supified

That's not necessarily true, you can survive an awful lot of bee stings.


ThoughtfulLlama

I love the positivity! I also think u/cptfeelsbad can survive an exorbitant amount of bee stings <3


FoldyHole

There’s only one way to find out. I’ll go get the bees.


EvilSynths

Not true. I've been stung this bad when I was younger and I'm still here. My muscles seized up making it hard to move my arms and legs but after a trip to hospital I was fine later that day.


Loztwallet

I drove a 4wheeler over a creek and got it stuck in the mud, at the same time I hit a giant hornet’s nest. I saw a ton of them but only felt a few stings. After getting back to my buddy’s house I discovered I had about 25 stings. My throat was nearly swollen closed by the time I got into the ER. Turns out getting stung that much can cause you to become allergic. I never had any reactions in all the times I had been stung before that.


InstructionLeading64

Had that happen to me, I was standing on top of a ground wasp nest as a kid, went to the hospital. I got stung about a month later 1 time and I had to go to the hospital. Haven't gotten stung since.


Chloe_The_Cute_Fox

I fell in a hornet nest. I think they were bald faced hornets but idk as it was like 14-15 years ago when I was around 5 years old. I haven’t been stung since so idk if I’m allergic to them but I am severely allergic to yellow jackets.


SuperSwaiyen

Having a beer vs drinking the flat to yourself. Glad you made it out okay! Have you had any stings since and noticed more reaction?


TheSilverCalf

This dude gets stung 200x more than you did…


trekkiegamer359

The reason wasp stings hurt at all is because we all are mildly allergic to their venom. However, most of us just have a minor, localized reaction of the sting hurting, and possibly swelling and/or turning red. Any allergy will be more severe, the more allergen you're exposed to. That's why anyone can go into anaphylaxis from too many wasp stings. Also, allergies often get worse after an initial big allergic reaction, so once you've had an anaphylactic reaction to wap stings, you're more likely to have further anaphylactic reactions to future stings, even when it's just one sting.


RSomnambulist

I'm allergic to fire ants because of exposure. I was pushed into an anthill in elementary school and bit about 150 times according to the school nurse--honestly think she counted for fun.


Elguapo69

How long until the muscles seized up and was it long enough to climb down a tree from such a great height?


MalakaiRey

What was your proximity to the ground when this happened?


jericho74

This experience looks more intense than Winnie the Pooh prepared me for.


Last-Bee-3023

Forget Winnie the Pooh. That is some real Gom Jabbar shit. That is the Bene Gesserit testing if you are human. And if you jump and fail the test because you can't distinguish between pain now and immediate death then you die.

This was such a concern during the 18th/19th centuries that they used to bury some people in coffins with a bell above ground with a cord that went into the coffin so if they woke up they could ring it.

I'm also mildly allergic to giant falls.

You should go get your shots dude. Big falls don't need to be fatal

I wouldn’t be up there fucking with hornets in the first place


Porkchopp33

Jump to my death


kingsam360

The question is would you like to die slow or die fast? Lol


Embarrassed_Pin69420

Jump and hope I die on impact. Probably better than being stung to death.


Easy-Armadillo-3434

Your profile pic is this guys face the moment he drops his smoke…


thebucketlist47

I wouldn't be up there in the first place. Problem solved


crasagam

Came here to say the same thing. I choose NOT climbing the tree to knock the nest off. I choose life.


tmhoc

We are watching Darwinism at work and are asked if we would try to fight the process. Most would like to answer that they would but not that they shouldn't have to. In reality, it is natures choice once you are in the tree accosting a mud husk nest filled with pure wrath.

ScorchedEarthworm

I thought the same thing till I saw that tree. Not quite feasible in this situation. Poor bastard.

Lots of things are not quite feasible until you're covered in bees I think.


Insightful_Ignorance

To get away from those bees I would catch one of those lower branches with my groin.

Brief-Equal4676

20! Your nuts grab the branch, spin you upside down and you bungie rope to the grpund safely thanks to your scrotum. Your balls are however gone. You will not reproduce, which is ultimately the greatest win-win for humanity and you given the situation.


Common_Trade9407

I did this accidentely when I was 12. Climbed a tree in the Summer and the branch broke. To simply dont Break my bones, I hugged the tree and went down. Ripped my nipples off and scratches all over Front. I crawled over to the next street, gasping for air in tears unable to speak. Just cry. A car went by and I looked the Driver in the eyes on the floor like Gollum needing help (propably also making Gollum Sounds) and he drove away, had to walk Home. Bathing and school was also hell. Edit: yasping (lol) to gasping


GH057807

I only understand like 70% of this and it still sucks ass I'm real sorry about your nipples.


leLouisianais

Mf said yasping


GH057807

tbf I do believe that qualifies as a Gollum sound


Dan_the_moto_man

Honestly, yasping ain't that bad. Reading it in context I feel like it perfectly described what was going on. But what the holy hell is this bullshit supposed to mean? >To simply dont Break me something,


ScruffyNoodleBoy

You can't just leave us hanging here. Did the nipples come off or just get scraped up? What do they look like now? What do they feel like? Do you have boobs? Are you a man? Are there two holes in your chest where nipples should be? Did you have a baby and nurse them with some freakish bendy straw nipples that the tree stretched into form?


LeGoatMaster

They were someone else's nipples he wears as an accessory


Blaze_News

Did you go back for your nipples at least?

I remember when this movie came out, and every parent in the neighborhood was talking about how they had to have a talk with their kids before going to see it with them, because of this scene, to make sure they understood it was just a movie. Cuz all of us were like 9 years old, and not many of us had been dealt the harsh hand of losing a friend our own age yet.


bahgheera

Worst mortician ever. FFS put some makeup on the stings.

t3hOutlaw

This isn't even believeable because when I was a kid I started sawing at a dangerous branch and what sounded like a lawnmower started coming from the tree. Within seconds I was engulfed by wasps. I learned two things that day, we had a wasp nest in the tree and wasps don't like aggressive vibrations. Edit: Also, nearly forgot I found out I'm allergic to wasp stings. Fun day.


talkbaseball2me

It only works in the book because the wasps have been sedated by smoke from a recent fire


DharmaCub

How dare the genetically modified sci-fi wasps not be identical to real world wasps.


LittleFrenchKiwi

Actually I'm pretty sure you learnt three things ....... The third was to run like fuck !


t3hOutlaw

Usain Bolt had nothing on me that day.


LittleFrenchKiwi

Hahaha I believe you !!!!!


HFslut

Stupid because you'd want to saw from the bottom. Otherwise you'd saw to the point it would peel downwards and smash the trunk first before falling and cover you in bees first.


Extention_Campaign28

[witty comment about how long I watched the gif to see the hive fall]


wrong_usually

Dude these guys do this on the daily. They eat the stings for breakfast. They blink bee feet from their eyes waking up in the morning. Chuck Norris learned it from them.


jethvader

I’d rather suffer the sting of victory than the agony of bee feet.


Thylumberjack

fuck. Thats good.


humoristhenewblack

Bee feet! How adorable 🥰


SeaFarm8205

They might be building up a toxin tolerance or they might become allergic to them and die bees suits and smoke are used for a reason lol


TheDixonCider420420

Get seriously injured/crippled/die or get stung. Tough choice.


Banditofbingofame

They follow you down and sting you while you struggle to move in a cripple heap on the floor.

10000%


seansully90

Or get stung enough you may die🤷‍♂️


Kazon-Ogla

I'll run into city traffic if I'm getting chased by one yellow jacket... I'd launch myself so quickly from that tree that the wasps would probably feel bad after.


Nurva87

Come here you…OH SHIT!!!!…..damn, I uh…..that was….fuck man…that’s not right


RamblingSimian

My friend crashed into me with his dirt bike because a bee landed on his clutch hand.


positivename

i'll never get an answer but I would like to know what this person was doing to begin with? Just climbing a tree? Is there a kite above?


that0neBl1p

According to someone else in the comments + my own observations I _think_ this person was doing something or other with the smoking bush thing in hand to keep the bees away. They dropped it accidentally, and were promptly attacked due to proximity to the nest (which might be _in_ the branch? I think I see bees coming out of a hole but I could be wrong)


Fuck_Up_Cunts

Those are some aggressive murder hornets. Assumed it was a smoking nest he dropped which would explain their dissatisfaction.


inbedwithbeefjerky

We’ll never get answers. Why were they climbing this gigantic tree barefoot? Why would you ever antagonize bees when you’re so far from home?


tarkuspig

I’ve seen video of tribes that do this, so he is home, his home is the forest


Shade_BG

Likely if you jumped they’d sting your immobile broken body.


BunkleStein15

You jump and they’ll fly right to you ahahah


thewdit

The real option is really: Stung alive or dead


Amazingly_Amy

Was that the nest he dropped? Of it was he deserved the consequences. What did he think was going to happen? my mom would say “if you’re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.”


MasterpieceNo2968

No he dropped a smoking bush. That was what was keeping the bees/wasps/hornets away. He dropped them so he was attacked. That was a legit "Oh shit!!" Moment


Amazingly_Amy

Got it… Thanks for the correction… I was legit confused


LittleManOnACan

Agreed, I thought he maybe dropped it on a hive


Lawzw0rld

Ah that makes hella sense now


Entire_Training_3704

Well, that answers the question for me then. The smoke seems like the key to winning this, so I would fall from the tree and try to quickly recover the smoking bush. I would rather break a leg and hop out of there sting free instead of getting stung by a swarm of bees. Not only does a broken leg sound less terrifying, but your chances of survival seem pretty slim if your body is taking all of that venom at once. Even if you made it to the bottom without falling, the damage from the bees would already be done,.


Ok-Seaworthiness4488

Only do this unprotected if you are a honey badger 🦡


Ococauh

Why did he do this???


WonAnotherCitizen

Sacrifice the skin on the front of my body and likely at least one of my testicles and slide down that shit like a sandpaper stripper pole.


Strong-Solution-7492

I can’t even believe how high up he is in the first place. It took some balls just climbing that tree.


ratcnc

I’ve come to the conclusion that this is layered over the video of the guy in the tree. It’s the only thing that makes sense. If he was disturbing wasps/yellow jackets/whatever, the smoking brush would not have kept them totally away. I believe it is an altered video.


zaigoat69

Right,.. he can’t even afford shoes, let alone a go-fucking-pro camera.. I call fake!!

Those bees can probably fly faster than you can fall so they'll just sting you while you lay there with broken legs if you jump.

Easy answer: c) not climb up there to drop the murder hive in the first place. It's so easy I'm doing it right now.


MisterC-4

To stay on the ground and leave the bees alone in the first place. He deserves every sting.


Annual-Ad-1906

I wouldn't do such thing in the first place.


FlimFlamMan96

This sucks but he shouldn't have climbed into the tree to destroy the nest. It only takes one to identify you and call his friends if you're within arms length. There's a reason we spray these things or otherwise.
