Always remember, as a full sized adult, you can usually handle the spider venom ratio, but if you are allergic, or this happens to a child, make sure to get some help!
It could also be a problem for someone with a compromised immune system. Generally, if a bite looks bad or hurts a lot, it's probably a good idea to go to a doctor to get it checked out if medical care is accessible
I've raised black widows for Anti-Venom research, and the most reported difficulties are from small children, the elderly, or people with compromised immune systems or allergies to bee stings. Anyone can have a bad reaction though. Be safe out there. The animals last resort is to use their venom on us. It's a waste. They use it sparingly and need it for their lives more than we do for our fun
Go seek medical attention though. I knew a guy who just ignored a brown recluse bite until after his leg all swelled up to twice its size. The doctors thought he was nuts.
@@StevenHughes-hr5hp That's scary. We have tons of them around here, but they're so docile, that you dang near have to crush one to get bit. Constantly have to rescue them from the bathtub. Apparently, some people have a severe reaction to the bite, while others just have some swelling/bruising.
Meh, I just watched Coyote Peterson, Brave Wilderness, get himself bitten by a giant desert centipede. It was not pretty, he was in sheer agony for several minutes, he had to use the venom extractor, first time ever, stop the cameras, also first time ever and finally succumbed to going to intensive care a few hours later because the pain was getting worse and worse and wouldn't go away. He compared it to sticking a red hot poker in his arm.
@@MatthewWheeler-v7f coyote is known to over react. Jack also got bitten by a giant centipede and he didn't scream. it was definitely painful but he didnt need the pain killer on the giant centipede.
Coyote Peterson while watching this - “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhh! Oh my god! Ow ow owow ow ow owie ow OWOWOWOWOWOW!Wow that hurts!” (While rolling around like he was shot the whole time)
Brave Wilderness, I miss the days when they weren't doing bite videos. Sadly, bite videos and exaggerated reactions generate clicks. JacksWorldofWildlife here is much much better about it.
Was bitten by a cotton mouth when i was nine. And have been bitten three times by recluses. The cotton mouth bite cased me the most pain ive ever had in my 58 years. The pain was relentless and went on and on for many hrs with out letting off. To this day everything on the ground looks like a snake to me.
The first bite made your immune system to be better. Have a good friend that got hit twice, once on the St John's River then another in a hollowed out cabbage palm. We were so far away from a hospital and way before cell phones. He said it's like the most painful worst acid trip you can ever imagine and we tripped all through our youth. Watch where you tread
Yup. Poisons/venoms are exceptionally hard on the kidneys. A guy I used to work with got bit by a rattler, and he said one of the main things they were watching for in the hospital was kidney failure.
I absolutely love how UA-cam completely interrupts what I'm watching to give me ads that I absolutely care 0 about.. I must be some type of special because ads have never inspired me or got me to want to buy anything ever. I never saw an ad for something and was like oh yeah I want to buy that.. so ADS mean absolutely nothing to me. I hate them and are a big reason why I don't watch normal TV
If you are on Android then use UA-cam Revanced. Takes about 15 mins to set up and there are no ads, it skips sponsor spots and you can remove those absolutely worthless shorts.
My son got bit on his side by a brown recluse, and it swelled very badly . Within just 24 hours, the swelling spread across his abdomen and around his back and almost reached his spine. He had gotten a skin infection from it that rapidly spread. He was in a lot of pain and couldn't walk for a week. We were in the er twice and urgent care four times all in one week. He has made a full recovery with a small scar on his side.
What if these insects are passive aggressive, preferring to save venom for meals only? Like a little Buddhist brown recluse, just trying to live in peace, one with nature. Then this human comes along with his tweezers, poking at it, and the spider was just on its way to a yoga session…
I know Jack's bite videos have gotten the most views and I've seen that black widow reaction several times. 20:54 - I remember first watching it and thinking, "wow, he's taking that bite very well." But after seeing many other bite and sting reactions, being able to recognize just how painful that bite was if it was making his adrenaline pump like that and you can hear it in his voice. Also wanted to say, gotta give Jack a ton of credit for his ability to handle those snakes. He's so knowledgeable and skilled in handling them. How he handled that Malayan Blue Coral snake was legendary. I love the vipers though. Very interesting how their eyes differ from elapids and they have those iconic slit pupils. My personal favorite is the Rough Scaled Bush Viper found in Africa. Great work as always, Jack 😎
My great Grandmother got bit by a Black Widow when she was young. Extremely miserable experience. I was dove hunting and nearly stepped on a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. I didn't realize I could jump so high! That rattle is what startled me.
@@katmiller4243 Most would. We have some little Masasauga rattlers around here that are extremely aggressive. They have little man syndrome, but pack a serious punch.
I almost lost my leg to a brown recluse bite. When I went into the hospital they lanced the infection and gave me a staph infection that eventually turned into MRSA and traveled from my ankle to a foot away from my heart and almost killed me. I have $12,000 of medical bills from it. My scars look like I got shot in both legs.
I got bit in my sleep by a brown recluse in southern Indiana. Bit me on my waist line, didn't know what was going on and finally went to the hospital with a 103° fever. Now I have a Life long scar
Bit on thigh, traveled down to knee. 4 surgeries later, I’m pretty much fine except for a rather f-ed up knee. Nasty little critters, the brown recluse.
I'm almost convinced that's what happened to 2 of my friends. Who went to the E.R. in Lubbock for an abcess. Both seemed fine, except for the soreness. But ended up dying within days of treatment.
I went to the E.R. for a spider bite abcess and nearly sued the hospital for abusive malpractice. After a doctor refused me any anesthetic for pain, but did the surgery anyway against my objection. I've a high pain tolerance but nearly passed out twice. He was purposely rough and had a nasty attitude the whole time. Even the nurse was like "WTF"!! Over his behavior and backed up my claim to the admin.
I've been bitten by a Brown Recluse spider before. It caused alot of damage to my chest area. I had to go back to the ER twice to have it cleaned up and get more anti-venom. I now have a scar from it where the skin around the bite rotted away. It wasn't a HUGE mess, but bad enough! Believe that!
I kept a Black Widow as a pet for a few months years ago. I fed her bugs I would catch by the porch light. She laid a huge egg sac and I released her back into the wild when her babies were born.
I got bitten TWICE by a suspected Black Widow, last month. And it hasnt healed yet... Still get jolts of Pain. It feels like a Metal Barb surrounded by Numbness and when the pain hits, its like the barb becomes Red Hot! Burning Pain! The 2 bites were close by and melted into one PAINFUL gunshot hole... While watching your clip from 4hours after the Black Widow bite, I recognized the glassy eyes and difficulty you had in speaking and chosing your words... I felt like that for days...
Well, as I have stated in the past, "I can relate to the effects of Latrodectus Mactans..." The Black Widow bite was in the top five of all painful experiences I have ever had. And I still need to order a "Black Widow" shirt.
I'm .terrified of spiders. One day, I was going through a couple boxes in my storage unit. Suddenly, a massive black widow came out of a box, ran across my hand, jumped, and landed on a box below, and disappointed. I screamed and screamed in sheer terror. No one heard me. No one came to slay the beast. The spider had a 3-nch leg span. Her abdomen was nearly the size of a quail egg. When she landed, I could hear the thud. I can still see and hear the memory of that experience.,,
@@HarryJackaman I don't know what "capping" means. What I do understand is that you're trolling me. That wasn't the first huge black widow that I've seen, but she was the biggest.
I know this is about U.S. critters. But I owned and operated my own venom extraction lab and let me tell you, a fer de lance, russels viper, and a gaboon viper are the ones I was more concerned about!
I swear i will see a yt or fb short with a snake and the dumbest people ive ever seen are all of a sudden snake experts saying things like this but completely seriously lol. Its one of the only things that triggers me online is people who spread misinformation about these animals that causes misunderstood fear and misplaced aggression towards these creatures. Too many uneducated people already walk around hurting and killing snakes and other animals just because they fear them when they should respect them. 😢
@@barrmane1141 With rattlesnakes being endangered or recovering species the killing of a rattlesnake is a crime in the human sense, but it is a crime against nature because of what they do to keep rodent populations down. I have been seeing more and more stories of humans developing bubonic plague which is carried by the fleas carried by rodents so I have been thinking maybe we should be checking on the health of our rattlesnake population because if the bacteria that causes that disease ever develops resistance to antibiotics we could be in real trouble.
And US KILLS HUNDREDS OF THIS BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL...THE RATTLESNAKE...IN A YEARLY KILLING SPREE...LIKE THE BISONS 150 YEARS AGO, TO STARVE THE THE INDIANS TO DEATH. THEY USE GASOLINE AND TORTURE METHODS TO GET THEM OUT OF THEIR HIDING. WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT STUPID AMERICANS?????????????????¿??????
This man is an absolute soldier! I mean, wow! Insects just aren't my thing. Then you have guys like this that make me feel weak even though I'm 6'2" 240 which means absolutely nothing I see. 😂 New sub my guy!
I was bitten by a Texas Redheaded Centipede and I can say without a doubt it was the worst bite I've ever experienced. Bitten on the tip of my ring finger, the venom and the same amount of pain rose up my arm to the armpit in about three hours and didn't stop for another three hours. The centipede you let bite you was not even close, I assume.
I'm glad the brown recluse made the list. Here in Kentucky they are everywhere, in fact right now there is one somewhere in my garage that I can't seem to catch. I've been bitten twice, both times as a kid on the toe and ankle and both when going to use the bathroom late at night. The first time I just stood there and watched it walk right up to me and bite me, I did absolutely nothing to it. Very strange behavior from us both. My leg swelled up, wasn't that painful, not like a yellow jacket and the second time was a dry bite or I just have become immune. Did I mention there is one in my garage? And that's just the one I know about. There are definitely more. And yes I caught the two that bit me and showed them to the ER.
Yeah there's a whole hella lot more than one, Hope you get them, be careful! Yeah if you read any of my comments you'll see I'm very knowledgeable about brown recluse bites. I live in East Texas and I swear there are bajillions of them where I live!
Seems like a lot of spiders only do a warning bite. Had one brown recluse in my stock that got smoshed, but it still only did a warning bite even it being on death danger :(
@@SallyEbsworth-g2vI was curious about this, so I went to iNaturalist and there are indeed a few Redback (Latrodectus hasselti) sightings in New Zealand. Most reports on the island are just East of Queenstown.
I like how you never react to the bites, it's so funny how you just do it. Funniest video is the bald faced hornet, "Ouch, Ouch. Okay so that sting was cool..." so funny.
I got bit 3 times by a brown recluse. Same day, with in about 20 minutes apart. First 10 hours it was sore. Woke up the next day with what looked like cigarette burns. 3 hours at work I fell down dizzy. Went to the Dr and was told it was a brown recluse bite. Rotted a hole the size of a golf ball. Just my experience 😊
I was born in the Texas Hill Country. San Marcos to be exact and then lived in Wimberly for the entirety of my youth. My family owns some land that backs up to Texas State University. Theres an old College road that runs parallel to our caliche pits, and very 100 yards or so we put a bench to sit down and relax at. When I was 11 I stopped at one of them to tie my shoes as my folks were going for a walk after supper. I got tagged by an adult Western Diamondback that was coiled up under the bench. It did zero preliminary rattling beforehand and then wouldn't shut up afterwards. I was wearing canvas chuck Taylor's and it went through them like the Sun through butter! The left fang didn't seem to inject much venom, but the right one sure as hell did. Long story short I lost the feeling in the right side of my foot and had to amputate my small toe. Ive gotten back around 70% of the feeling in my foot, and it hurts when it rains. Other than that got off pretty lucky I guess. Since then I've also been bitten by an exceptionally large Black Widow and Brown Recluse. I got a dry bite from a Texas Coral Snake, which I think they merged that species with the Eastern Coral Snake. The absolute worst are still freakin Hill Country scorpions. Go get em Fire Ants!! O Ya and GIG EM AGGIES!!!!! WHOOP!
I was bitten by a brown recluse back in Oct of 22 and spent 7 days on a wound vac went septic and got mrsa and 15 stitches after the vac came off I'm lucky to be alive I'm type 1 diabetic also lucky I didn't lose my arm it was the most painful thing I've ever been through except a kidney stone
A spider bite is a treat, compared to a rattler bite….. a rattler bite in general will cost a person between ~$2,000 all the way up to over $400,000, depending on the number of vials needed, and treatment/ physical therapy, if needed…. So please don’t go looking for a snake……. You might find one.
Other people at work- check people out, build things, drive things places, do paperwork, save lives, sell things, JWOW- ranking how painful stings are bites are from things CATEGORIZED BY COUNTRY
Personally, I'd put the Mojave Green and Southern Pacific ( Black Diamond) rattlesnakes at the top of the list. We had both Western Diamondback and Black Diamond rattlesnakes where I grew up in the foothills of So. Cal. We feared the So. Pacifics more, partly because they tended not to rattle - which is why I nearly stepped on one in my backyard when I was a kid.
The worst envenomation on the show Venom E.R. was by a southern pacific. It was hard to watch. From reading about the variations in the southern pacific venom, there's ongoing research about how habitat plays a role in the variations.
Dude you do you but there is no way in HELL I would subject myself to this for any amount of views, likes, subscriptions, or money!💯 Have fun with all that. I do however thank you for what you do so I and others know what to expect in the UNPLANNED event a bite should happen. Stay blessed and alive bro. You have a set of stones!
I agree with the whole list. Another thing people need to know about some species of rattlesnakes is they are endangered animals and their extinction or even removal of them from your area could result in seeing many more rodents which could potentially result in diseases like the bubonic plague becoming more common. I admire and appreciate the rattlesnake for being in a position to do this for humans and have multiple photos of local snakes in the states of New York and Pennsylvania all taken from save distance. Like I said I appreciate how they provide a semblance of natural defense against disease like the bubonic plage which if it got to common could develop antibiotic resistance and become a real threat to society again.
I was 3 years old walking alone in soggy dry lake in the middle of the day when I saw a rattlesnake curled up and leaping through the air right at me. I didn't even know what "snake" meant. I stopped and knew instinctively it was telling me, "Stay away. I could hurt you, even if I don't want to." I turned around and later in life wondered how in the world I survived. It leapt at only 4 inches away from my chest. 😊
I almost lost my life to a brown recluse bight back in 1993. It took a week for the doctors to figure out what it was. Left a track on my stomach the largest the size of a softball within a week. When the 1st bight exploded 10 days later I was laying n the floor because of the pressure I was feeling. Within a few minutes it blew and hit the ceiling 7 1/2ft. Above me leaving huge chunks of flesh destroyed. Took about 8 years before it totally healed. I was out of work for 6 months & took about 2 years before I could work full time again. Huge 3” deep 5” x 5” con-caved wound for years. All that paled in comparison to the breathing issues, balance and central nervous system issues I fought for years. Not a very friendly spider to me!
The biggest takeaway we can get from videos about dangerous animals. Is that although they are very dangerous. Not all of them are avtively seeking to do harm. Many times if someone has a bad encounter with one, the animal is acting in defense of themselves. When they feel threatened. And many spider bites generally happen if they are in anpiece of clothing or in a shoe or something and tou go to put that article on, you put them in a compromising position where the only thing they can do is bite you so they themselves don't become injured. Being backed into a corner brings out the most violent instincts in any animal. It's self preservation by any means
That timber rattlesnake was an absolute beast jesus christ. I love snakes but everytime i come across one like that no matter how confident i am with my snake hook i feel like an amateur again. Thankfully i havent found too many monsters like that on the road where i would want to move them. I would just tap its tail with the hook and get him to slither himself off the road or trail i dont want to tail a snake like that if i dont have to even though bigger snakes can be easier to handle in general.
My sister got a recluse bite under her bicep she was in her pool and reached her arms over an inner tube feeling an instant stink of fire. Her arm swelled up with a huge painful knot that was red & hot. She started running a fever within cpl hours, body aches all over was in a lot of pain. Took her about a week to be fully better luckily she didn’t get hardly any tissue damage. My brother got a bite and lost a chunk from his upper leg from necrosis.
Been bit by western black widows about 6 times. The back pain sucks and the brain fog is prevalent for awhile. Sucks to get bit on the leg swells up a lot and makes it difficult to walk for a bit.
Thankfully I've never been bitten by a brown recluse. My mother was, didn't experience any systemic issues, but she had an itchy bump where the spider bit her that didn't fully heal for about 8 months. No infection, no other issues. Just a constant itch that steroids couldn't help with. Worst spider bite I had was a Yellow Sac Spider. Similar issue to what my mom had with the brown recluse.
There are lots of yellow sac spiders here in Portland. They are aggressive spiders. I sent a request to Jack to take a bite from a yellow sac spider. He refused the request.
I had a distant friend he was maybe 30 to 40 yrs old dude was huge like 6 4 350 to 400 lbs he got bit by a brown recluse n didn't keep it clean enough and he didn't have insurance so he didn't go get it checked he passed away from the bite. So yea they can be potentially fatal jus how 2 kno how 2 treat the wound I guess n if it gets bad go get it checked out by doc. Or someone will medical advice
Those yellow sac spiders are assholes. They are the only spiders i actively kill in my house. Every other spider i find i just leave alone but fuck those little yellow assholes. They just love to bite for no reason
I never refused to take a bite 😂 I haven’t ever come across one and their venom is harmless so it wouldn’t even come close to reacting the same as my other more dangerous spider bites
You cannot be allergic to anything. There has never been a verified or documented case of anaphylaxis with a spider bite and it is unlikely that anyone is genuinely severely allergic to spider venom.
Jack, my friend, I tip my hat to you! What a courageous gentleman you are! Thank you for allowing yourself to be the experiment victim, rather than many, many poor, innocent animals being put through horrible agonies thanks to scientists and product mfgs. still using them to experiment on. Nothing replaces the first-hand knowledge of a human being who can tell you what hell he is feeling and is willing to endure that misery in order to further our knowledge and hopefully helping us prevent going through such trauma. I was afraid that you'd let a rattlesnake bite you, thank Heavens you didn't. Thank you, Jack, and PLEASE BE CAREFUL. Your body has undergone many awful punishments, please don't damage your health, as much as we appreciate your thirst for knowledge.
Twice bitten by a recluse. Missouri is absolutely packed with them. Anyone on here from Missouri can verify. I had small necrotizing holes. Massive bruising. Felt like a little shock. Like a 9 volt on the tongue. Less than that. The bruising was from my ankle to my right upper thigh. The other bite, i was sleeping. Still have a small hole about pencil tip. Armpit. Bruising from chest down arm. 3 days until purplish.
If you're in an area where you could potentially come in contact with rattlesnakes, you should be aware that they DO NOT always rattle before they strike. Their first defense is to freeze in hopes they're not seen. They know their rattle will let you know they're there. If you step close without seeing it and then step even closer or on it in the first place, you're very likely to be bitten without ever hearing a rattle. If you see one near you, get back quickly. Most rattlesnakes can strike outwards beyond their laying position between 1/3 and 1/2 of their total body length. They don't leap through the air or chase you, but you do need to quickly qive them space. Leave them alone and, please, please, please, do not kill them.
Well said. They can strike up to 2/3rds their body length!! Yikes! I live where we have Prairie Diamondbacks (closely related to Western Diamondbacks). They are also dangerous. In Canada it’s illegal to kill ANY Rattlesnake. The Timber Rattlesnake has already been extirpated from Canada and the others grow & reproduce slower than where it’s warmer. Due to the longer colder winters there’s also a higher mortality rate while wintering. The bite is very painful, I know! I then had to climb about 150 vertical ft at about 30 degrees slope to get back to a radio & vehicle! Pre cell phones. THEN it was 2 hours to the nearest hospital driving. Half that time by helicopter, but they didn’t treat the snakebite that serious. In the interest of saving time I drive myself to meet the ambulance that was coming from the small town nearby. I was in an area they could never have gotten to with the ambulance as I was wayyy in the back country. I was in severe pain, the blood had distributed the venom throughout my body. I was sweating profusely and finding it very hard to focus. When I saw the ambulance I just drove my truck into the ditch, crawled out and laid propped up on my elbows until they got to me. They all knew me as we were all volunteer members with the local fire & ambulance. It was load & go because they knew how tough & stubborn I was and I just said “Thanks everyone, now please take me to the hospital.” There were profanities in there, I’m a red neck after all 😂😂, I just left them out. They never had seen me ask for help before! I had multiple doses of antivenin and an overnight stay in the hospital. I stayed in the city though because they said I may lose my leg below the knee yet. I was bit in the top half of the calf. The snake was over 4 ft long. I could have stayed in the hospital but family lived nearby. When they cut the baseball sized chunk of meat out of my calf, I gave in & stayed for about 2 weeks (if I remember right) while they did skin grafts etc. it’s an ugly wound, but the calf is almost 100%. There are days when it can get sore if I’m on my feet all day, especially moving cattle. I’m retired now so it hasn’t hurt in a long time, 4+ years or so. They said if I hadn’t called in there was a good chance I would have died of gangrene at the very least!! They are serious wounds if they envenomate you!
I've read somewhere that rattlesnakes are slowly losing or not using their rattles and eventually will lose them altogether bcuz humans are killing them for their rattles or food or just straight up killing them for nothing. Bcuz the rattle is making it easier for ppl to find them.
I have managed to only get bit by one of these species in all my years. It was a brown recluse that bit me on my middle finger. It was swollen for a couple of months, then itched off and on for almost the next three years. I wouldn't recommend intentionally getting bit by one since I have personally seen the results of one of the truly bad ones. The patient killed and brought in the spider that bit him, which was identified as a brown recluse spider. They were originally treated with antibiotics and steroids. They came back in one month later with a golf ball sized whole in their calf where the tissue had rotted away. In the end, they lost their lower leg from the infection from that wound caused by the spider.
When I was 16, I thought I had a spider bite, big red patch with a central spot and a red stripe running up my arm. At the hospital they told me it was a staph infection and if I had come a day later it could have been much more serious.
Just going back through videos I've seen before and making sure to comment, plus it's nice to have in the background while doing other things ❤ sometimes I forget to comment! One thing I did want to ask is, did you know before you got bit how you would react in each instance? I was absolutely shocked by the widow bite it terrifies me even after watching this before. The fact that it put you out of commission like that definitely gives me even more respect for those.
I usually have a good idea of the spectrum of effects before going into a test, so while things might be worse than I hope for, they’re not surprising.
@@JacksWorldofWildlife That makes complete sense and I figured you probably watched people dealing with bite symptoms and read about it before like the professional boss you are!
You could say a sting from a centipede is more like a really intense hug😂 Rattlesnakes are some of my favecanimals. I have literally stood in the middle of den sites with nary a tail twitch. But i always respect them and hsndlebwith care!
A dr i used to work with told me every case hes seen of supposed awful horrible brown recluse bites/necrosis, he believes either never was a spider bite at all but just an infected wound from some other source, or possibly was a recluse (or other) spider bite that got infected and the infection did the damage, not the spider technically. He said as long as you arent very young, very old, immune compromised then there is pretty much no serious risk other than infections. Plus we dont even have brown recluse here really but have met so many people who claim to have been bit by one here!
@@JacksWorldofWildlife right on! Thanks for responding! I'm a huge fan! Black widows have forever been my biggest fear even over great whites. Lol ... But watching you handle them is truly inspiring
When I was a teenager I would go spider hunting and didn't know any of this, I still scoop spiders up and put them outside if I don't want to deal with them but mostly just let them chill in the house and eat the annoying bugs. Someone was gonna smush a jumping spider and I scooped him up and said "nooo just put him outside don't kill him". Jumping spiders are the cutest lol.
HEY EVERYONE! The number one slot is really venomous snakes as a whole, but our larger and more potent rattlesnakes easily are the worst and most painful venomous bites you can receive. I will be making a specific snake bite tier list in the future ranking our more dangerous snake bites but until then know that our other snakes (copperheads, cottonmouths and coral snakes) rest at a comfortable 1.5 ranking in this list. Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming ranking videos, I think you’ll like them 😉 Also if you read this far then click this link to watch ANOTHER video I know you’ll like.

3x bitten by the brown recluse and 2 bites occurred while crawling in bed. 1st one on my stomach, 2nd time on the lower part of my butt cheek, an the 3rd, was while setting on a log, another bite to the bum. Then wasnt but a week after the 3rd bite, a cow bee stung me right where the recluse got me. Let me just say, 11yrs in Mississippi was enough. But before leaving, sigh my foot found a fire ant hill which wasnt a mound yet. I never stripped so fast in my life. The dr that took care of my recluse bites, the fact you rot from the inside out, 4 days and the worst one was as big as the palm of my hand. They hurt! But so does that cow bee but not as bad as the red wasps they have. Neck sting left me with a stiff neck for nearly 5 weeks.
Jack.. I put one of our cars in storage here in Michigan and it was full of widow spiders.. I counted 9..that I saw..had northern blacks, regular black widows and for the first time in Michigan I saw the brown widow!!! Brown with striped legs and had the red hourglass!!
is it possible go ask a couple of questions about a spider fit on a square napkin in s holder never found a name or info except someone thought it was from south america and extremely venomous. it was the color of those rubber things to tie around your arm when they take blood with brown feet? dayuuuuum my toes are cramping just talking about it and hives. do you know what it could be? thank you~

when this guy needs to take pain killer, you know it's the worst pain ever
Indeed
Agreed, this dude makes that coyote guy look like a mary.
you know it hurts when they give you gas and air or worse you dont need painkillers just resuscitation lol
Meh, I just watched Coyote Peterson, Brave Wilderness, get himself bitten by a giant desert centipede. It was not pretty, he was in sheer agony for several minutes, he had to use the venom extractor, first time ever, stop the cameras, also first time ever and finally succumbed to going to intensive care a few hours later because the pain was getting worse and worse and wouldn't go away. He compared it to sticking a red hot poker in his arm.
@@MatthewWheeler-v7f coyote is known to over react. Jack also got bitten by a giant centipede and he didn't scream. it was definitely painful but he didnt need the pain killer on the giant centipede.
Coyote Peterson while watching this - “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhh! Oh my god! Ow ow owow ow ow owie ow OWOWOWOWOWOW!Wow that hurts!” (While rolling around like he was shot the whole time)
😂
searing pain
Coyote Peterson is a big baby he is over exaggerating everything. A lady bug can lick him and he will say it's painful 🤣🤣🤣
Brave Wilderness, I miss the days when they weren't doing bite videos. Sadly, bite videos and exaggerated reactions generate clicks. JacksWorldofWildlife here is much much better about it.
@@FrankieFitness bro he got balls of steal tbh id like to see you try getting bit by that huge centipede
Was bitten by a cotton mouth when i was nine. And have been bitten three times by recluses. The cotton mouth bite cased me the most pain ive ever had in my 58 years. The pain was relentless and went on and on for many hrs with out letting off. To this day everything on the ground looks like a snake to me.
I've heard their bites are excruciating. Some snake's venom directly attacks the nervous system, which just amplifies what already hurts.
The first bite made your immune system to be better. Have a good friend that got hit twice, once on the St John's River then another in a hollowed out cabbage palm. We were so far away from a hospital and way before cell phones. He said it's like the most painful worst acid trip you can ever imagine and we tripped all through our youth. Watch where you tread
Thank you for being educational and not dramatic. I can't wait to show this to my bug obsessed son who loves herping wildlife with me!
Share away!
Well.... except for the recluse bite.
The lower back pain is your kidneys saying ouch.
The problem with kidney damage is it tends to be permanent. Any time your kidneys hurt you should avoid ever doing what caused it again.
@@kirbyjoe7484 I agree absolutely! That was my first thought lol
Yup. Poisons/venoms are exceptionally hard on the kidneys. A guy I used to work with got bit by a rattler, and he said one of the main things they were watching for in the hospital was kidney failure.
I absolutely love how UA-cam completely interrupts what I'm watching to give me ads that I absolutely care 0 about.. I must be some type of special because ads have never inspired me or got me to want to buy anything ever. I never saw an ad for something and was like oh yeah I want to buy that.. so ADS mean absolutely nothing to me. I hate them and are a big reason why I don't watch normal TV
uBlock Origin. Ads gone forever, no YT ad errors. Screw ads.
I have UA-cam premium, don’t get ads.
Yeah me either but they support creators so I deal with it or buy yt premium. Which still supports creators
@@Nefville that's not right though. Why not support your favorite creators at least get yt premium so you don't get ads but still support creators...
If you are on Android then use UA-cam Revanced. Takes about 15 mins to set up and there are no ads, it skips sponsor spots and you can remove those absolutely worthless shorts.
My son got bit on his side by a brown recluse, and it swelled very badly . Within just 24 hours, the swelling spread across his abdomen and around his back and almost reached his spine. He had gotten a skin infection from it that rapidly spread. He was in a lot of pain and couldn't walk for a week. We were in the er twice and urgent care four times all in one week. He has made a full recovery with a small scar on his side.
What if these insects are passive aggressive, preferring to save venom for meals only? Like a little Buddhist brown recluse, just trying to live in peace, one with nature. Then this human comes along with his tweezers, poking at it, and the spider was just on its way to a yoga session…
Hahhahaha a yoga sesh
What are you calling an "insect" ?
I don't recall any insect being featured in this video.
Uh…yeah thats what most small animals/insects/bugs/etc are like they want absolutely nothing to do with us and would rather get away
POV Me waiting for the spider part: I'm just hanging out with my pet jumping spider
I know Jack's bite videos have gotten the most views and I've seen that black widow reaction several times. 20:54 - I remember first watching it and thinking, "wow, he's taking that bite very well." But after seeing many other bite and sting reactions, being able to recognize just how painful that bite was if it was making his adrenaline pump like that and you can hear it in his voice.
Also wanted to say, gotta give Jack a ton of credit for his ability to handle those snakes. He's so knowledgeable and skilled in handling them. How he handled that Malayan Blue Coral snake was legendary. I love the vipers though. Very interesting how their eyes differ from elapids and they have those iconic slit pupils. My personal favorite is the Rough Scaled Bush Viper found in Africa. Great work as always, Jack 😎
😎😎😎
Thanks for your critter videos. My compliments.👍 Take good care .👍
Takes some cajones to do what he does. Just found this channel, but definitely subbed.
Haha ive seen all these videos but still sat through and watched them again. Great stuff
My great Grandmother got bit by a Black Widow when she was young. Extremely miserable experience. I was dove hunting and nearly stepped on a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. I didn't realize I could jump so high! That rattle is what startled me.
I can imagine the snake telling his friends about it.
Exactly! They would rather warn you, than use their venom... Glad you and Grandma are okay! 🥰🕷️
@@katmiller4243 Most would. We have some little Masasauga rattlers around here that are extremely aggressive. They have little man syndrome, but pack a serious punch.
Puts a new meaning to the nursery rhyme...Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, get away fast before you get bit. 😂😂
if jack's not careful he'll lose his d*ck
Your video popped up and I was intrigued. Loved it, had some humor, very great. Keep it up
So much interesting information! Centipedes creep me out, but I have a soft spot for snakes :)
You and me both!
Bit by black widow 'you might get a tummy ache' 😂
That's some metal shit!
This is genuinely my favorite UA-cam channel. Thank you jack

I almost lost my leg to a brown recluse bite. When I went into the hospital they lanced the infection and gave me a staph infection that eventually turned into MRSA and traveled from my ankle to a foot away from my heart and almost killed me. I have $12,000 of medical bills from it. My scars look like I got shot in both legs.
My son did too! It was the worst experience ever! When he was getting treated we met a man that had his foot amputated from a brown recluse
I got bit in my sleep by a brown recluse in southern Indiana. Bit me on my waist line, didn't know what was going on and finally went to the hospital with a 103° fever. Now I have a Life long scar
Bit on thigh, traveled down to knee. 4 surgeries later, I’m pretty much fine except for a rather f-ed up knee. Nasty little critters, the brown recluse.
I'm almost convinced that's what happened to 2 of my friends. Who went to the E.R. in Lubbock for an abcess. Both seemed fine, except for the soreness. But ended up dying within days of treatment.
I went to the E.R. for a spider bite abcess and nearly sued the hospital for abusive malpractice. After a doctor refused me any anesthetic for pain, but did the surgery anyway against my objection. I've a high pain tolerance but nearly passed out twice. He was purposely rough and had a nasty attitude the whole time. Even the nurse was like "WTF"!! Over his behavior and backed up my claim to the admin.
Wait you’re not gonna get bit by a rattlesnake that’s what I was waiting for😂
I've been bitten by a Brown Recluse spider before. It caused alot of damage to my chest area. I had to go back to the ER twice to have it cleaned up and get more anti-venom. I now have a scar from it where the skin around the bite rotted away. It wasn't a HUGE mess, but bad enough! Believe that!
I kept a Black Widow as a pet for a few months years ago. I fed her bugs I would catch by the porch light. She laid a huge egg sac and I released her back into the wild when her babies were born.
I got bitten TWICE by a suspected Black Widow, last month. And it hasnt healed yet... Still get jolts of Pain. It feels like a Metal Barb surrounded by Numbness and when the pain hits, its like the barb becomes Red Hot! Burning Pain! The 2 bites were close by and melted into one PAINFUL gunshot hole... While watching your clip from 4hours after the Black Widow bite, I recognized the glassy eyes and difficulty you had in speaking and chosing your words... I felt like that for days...
Well, as I have stated in the past, "I can relate to the effects of Latrodectus Mactans..." The Black Widow bite was in the top five of all painful experiences I have ever had. And I still need to order a "Black Widow" shirt.
I'm .terrified of spiders.
One day, I was going through a couple boxes in my storage unit.
Suddenly, a massive black widow came out of a box, ran across my hand, jumped, and landed on a box below, and disappointed.
I screamed and screamed in sheer terror.
No one heard me. No one came to slay the beast.
The spider had a 3-nch leg span.
Her abdomen was nearly the size of a quail egg.
When she landed, I could hear the thud.
I can still see and hear the memory of that experience.,,
They don’t get that big lol stop capping
@@HarryJackaman I don't know what "capping" means.
What I do understand is that you're trolling me.
That wasn't the first huge black widow that I've seen, but she was the biggest.
I let out a literal huge sigh of relief when you said you didn't let the snake bite you.
Your insanity is incredibly entertaining my guy. You got cannonballs yo!
Awesome video, but how the hell do you look 10 and 43 at the same time?! lol You've just earned a new sub!
I know this is about U.S. critters. But I owned and operated my own venom extraction lab and let me tell you, a fer de lance, russels viper, and a gaboon viper are the ones I was more concerned about!
Rattlesnakes wiggle their tails like that cause they're just happy to see you! 😂
I swear i will see a yt or fb short with a snake and the dumbest people ive ever seen are all of a sudden snake experts saying things like this but completely seriously lol. Its one of the only things that triggers me online is people who spread misinformation about these animals that causes misunderstood fear and misplaced aggression towards these creatures. Too many uneducated people already walk around hurting and killing snakes and other animals just because they fear them when they should respect them. 😢
@@barrmane1141 With rattlesnakes being endangered or recovering species the killing of a rattlesnake is a crime in the human sense, but it is a crime against nature because of what they do to keep rodent populations down. I have been seeing more and more stories of humans developing bubonic plague which is carried by the fleas carried by rodents so I have been thinking maybe we should be checking on the health of our rattlesnake population because if the bacteria that causes that disease ever develops resistance to antibiotics we could be in real trouble.
@@barrmane1141 Snakes are such shy and defensive animals it really pains me that people go out of their way to kill them
😂😂😂
And US KILLS HUNDREDS OF THIS BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL...THE RATTLESNAKE...IN A YEARLY KILLING SPREE...LIKE THE BISONS 150 YEARS AGO, TO STARVE THE THE INDIANS TO DEATH. THEY USE GASOLINE AND TORTURE METHODS TO GET THEM OUT OF THEIR HIDING. WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT STUPID AMERICANS?????????????????¿??????
Thank you very much! Liked, subscribed and shared. My absolute favorite UA-cam channel by far.
That’s what I like to hear 😎
I love the reactions, so funny!! Great channel !! :)
This man is an absolute soldier! I mean, wow! Insects just aren't my thing. Then you have guys like this that make me feel weak even though I'm 6'2" 240 which means absolutely nothing I see. 😂 New sub my guy!
I was bitten by a Texas Redheaded Centipede and I can say without a doubt it was the worst bite I've ever experienced. Bitten on the tip of my ring finger, the venom and the same amount of pain rose up my arm to the armpit in about three hours and didn't stop for another three hours. The centipede you let bite you was not even close, I assume.
I'm glad the brown recluse made the list. Here in Kentucky they are everywhere, in fact right now there is one somewhere in my garage that I can't seem to catch. I've been bitten twice, both times as a kid on the toe and ankle and both when going to use the bathroom late at night. The first time I just stood there and watched it walk right up to me and bite me, I did absolutely nothing to it. Very strange behavior from us both. My leg swelled up, wasn't that painful, not like a yellow jacket and the second time was a dry bite or I just have become immune. Did I mention there is one in my garage? And that's just the one I know about. There are definitely more. And yes I caught the two that bit me and showed them to the ER.
Yeah there's a whole hella lot more than one, Hope you get them, be careful!
Yeah if you read any of my comments you'll see I'm very knowledgeable about brown recluse bites. I live in East Texas and I swear there are bajillions of them where I live!
They say you're never more than 4 feet away from a spider
Rattlesnakes Taught me to be a "social distancer" before it became a "Thing".......

Thanks so much!!
Rewatching the black widow bite brings back nostalgia. I think that was right around the time I started following.
Seems like a lot of spiders only do a warning bite. Had one brown recluse in my stock that got smoshed, but it still only did a warning bite even it being on death danger :(
So glad I live in New Zealand….we don’t have snakes or venomous critters
You do. Redback spider
@@jacobway468 no we don’t have red backs that’s Australia…we have white tail spiders but they are not toxic
@@SallyEbsworth-g2vI was curious about this, so I went to iNaturalist and there are indeed a few Redback (Latrodectus hasselti) sightings in New Zealand. Most reports on the island are just East of Queenstown.
You should do garden variety bugs… earwigs, ladybugs, horseflies… see if there are any surprises waiting for me lol ❤
earwigs have a deceptively strong pinch. the bigger ones can definitely break skin if they get you
I like how you never react to the bites, it's so funny how you just do it. Funniest video is the bald faced hornet, "Ouch, Ouch. Okay so that sting was cool..." so funny.
I got bit 3 times by a brown recluse. Same day, with in about 20 minutes apart. First 10 hours it was sore. Woke up the next day with what looked like cigarette burns. 3 hours at work I fell down dizzy. Went to the Dr and was told it was a brown recluse bite. Rotted a hole the size of a golf ball. Just my experience 😊
I was born in the Texas Hill Country. San Marcos to be exact and then lived in Wimberly for the entirety of my youth. My family owns some land that backs up to Texas State University. Theres an old College road that runs parallel to our caliche pits, and very 100 yards or so we put a bench to sit down and relax at. When I was 11 I stopped at one of them to tie my shoes as my folks were going for a walk after supper. I got tagged by an adult Western Diamondback that was coiled up under the bench. It did zero preliminary rattling beforehand and then wouldn't shut up afterwards. I was wearing canvas chuck Taylor's and it went through them like the Sun through butter! The left fang didn't seem to inject much venom, but the right one sure as hell did. Long story short I lost the feeling in the right side of my foot and had to amputate my small toe. Ive gotten back around 70% of the feeling in my foot, and it hurts when it rains. Other than that got off pretty lucky I guess. Since then I've also been bitten by an exceptionally large Black Widow and Brown Recluse. I got a dry bite from a Texas Coral Snake, which I think they merged that species with the Eastern Coral Snake. The absolute worst are still freakin Hill Country scorpions. Go get em Fire Ants!! O Ya and GIG EM AGGIES!!!!! WHOOP!
The brown recluse bite that I got as a kid was pretty awful
Ouch!
I'm not about to say you weren't bit by a brown recluse. But many times people blame brown recluse without ever actually seeing a brown recluse.
I was bitten by a brown recluse back in Oct of 22 and spent 7 days on a wound vac went septic and got mrsa and 15 stitches after the vac came off I'm lucky to be alive I'm type 1 diabetic also lucky I didn't lose my arm it was the most painful thing I've ever been through except a kidney stone
A spider bite is a treat, compared to a rattler bite….. a rattler bite in general will cost a person between ~$2,000 all the way up to over $400,000, depending on the number of vials needed, and treatment/ physical therapy, if needed….
So please don’t go looking for a snake……. You might find one.
$400k
I’d rather die lol

😂😂😂 that’s right!
As an Australian I’m feeling called out 😅
13:17 oof that Coyote Peterson slander 😂😂😂😂 Had me in stitches
Personally, I'd put the Mojave Green and Southern Pacific ( Black Diamond) rattlesnakes at the top of the list. We had both Western Diamondback and Black Diamond rattlesnakes where I grew up in the foothills of So. Cal. We feared the So. Pacifics more, partly because they tended not to rattle - which is why I nearly stepped on one in my backyard when I was a kid.
Perhaps a snake bite tier list is in the near future 👀
The worst envenomation on the show Venom E.R. was by a southern pacific. It was hard to watch. From reading about the variations in the southern pacific venom, there's ongoing research about how habitat plays a role in the variations.
I respect that he doesn't harm the specimens ❤
Dude you do you but there is no way in HELL I would subject myself to this for any amount of views, likes, subscriptions, or money!💯 Have fun with all that. I do however thank you for what you do so I and others know what to expect in the UNPLANNED event a bite should happen. Stay blessed and alive bro. You have a set of stones!
I agree with the whole list. Another thing people need to know about some species of rattlesnakes is they are endangered animals and their extinction or even removal of them from your area could result in seeing many more rodents which could potentially result in diseases like the bubonic plague becoming more common. I admire and appreciate the rattlesnake for being in a position to do this for humans and have multiple photos of local snakes in the states of New York and Pennsylvania all taken from save distance. Like I said I appreciate how they provide a semblance of natural defense against disease like the bubonic plage which if it got to common could develop antibiotic resistance and become a real threat to society again.
The Black Widow spider (Female) has got to be the worst venom from watching your channel over the years. 😮
I was 3 years old walking alone in soggy dry lake in the middle of the day when I saw a rattlesnake curled up and leaping through the air right at me. I didn't even know what "snake" meant. I stopped and knew instinctively it was telling me, "Stay away. I could hurt you, even if I don't want to." I turned around and later in life wondered how in the world I survived. It leapt at only 4 inches away from my chest. 😊
Wow Cant believe you do this stuff! keep it up!
I almost lost my life to a brown recluse bight back in 1993. It took a week for the doctors to figure out what it was. Left a track on my stomach the largest the size of a softball within a week. When the 1st bight exploded 10 days later I was laying n the floor because of the pressure I was feeling. Within a few minutes it blew and hit the ceiling 7 1/2ft. Above me leaving huge chunks of flesh destroyed. Took about 8 years before it totally healed. I was out of work for 6 months & took about 2 years before I could work full time again. Huge 3” deep 5” x 5” con-caved wound for years. All that paled in comparison to the breathing issues, balance and central nervous system issues I fought for years. Not a very friendly spider to me!
The biggest takeaway we can get from videos about dangerous animals. Is that although they are very dangerous. Not all of them are avtively seeking to do harm. Many times if someone has a bad encounter with one, the animal is acting in defense of themselves. When they feel threatened.
And many spider bites generally happen if they are in anpiece of clothing or in a shoe or something and tou go to put that article on, you put them in a compromising position where the only thing they can do is bite you so they themselves don't become injured. Being backed into a corner brings out the most violent instincts in any animal. It's self preservation by any means

That timber rattlesnake was an absolute beast jesus christ. I love snakes but everytime i come across one like that no matter how confident i am with my snake hook i feel like an amateur again. Thankfully i havent found too many monsters like that on the road where i would want to move them. I would just tap its tail with the hook and get him to slither himself off the road or trail i dont want to tail a snake like that if i dont have to even though bigger snakes can be easier to handle in general.
quite an accurate imitation of Cayote 😅😂 is funny watching him overreact to every sting/bite like he's lost a limb
Come on guys, this needs more likes!!
I'd give it a like but he didn't take the rattlesnake bite. thus we can't verify if it should be #1 on the list..........🤣
My sister got a recluse bite under her bicep she was in her pool and reached her arms over an inner tube feeling an instant stink of fire. Her arm swelled up with a huge painful knot that was red & hot. She started running a fever within cpl hours, body aches all over was in a lot of pain. Took her about a week to be fully better luckily she didn’t get hardly any tissue damage. My brother got a bite and lost a chunk from his upper leg from necrosis.
Been bit by western black widows about 6 times. The back pain sucks and the brain fog is prevalent for awhile. Sucks to get bit on the leg swells up a lot and makes it difficult to walk for a bit.
The velvet ant (or wasp)has quite a punch😊

Thankfully I've never been bitten by a brown recluse. My mother was, didn't experience any systemic issues, but she had an itchy bump where the spider bit her that didn't fully heal for about 8 months. No infection, no other issues. Just a constant itch that steroids couldn't help with.
Worst spider bite I had was a Yellow Sac Spider. Similar issue to what my mom had with the brown recluse.
There are lots of yellow sac spiders here in Portland. They are aggressive spiders. I sent a request to Jack to take a bite from a yellow sac spider. He refused the request.
I had a distant friend he was maybe 30 to 40 yrs old dude was huge like 6 4 350 to 400 lbs he got bit by a brown recluse n didn't keep it clean enough and he didn't have insurance so he didn't go get it checked he passed away from the bite. So yea they can be potentially fatal jus how 2 kno how 2 treat the wound I guess n if it gets bad go get it checked out by doc. Or someone will medical advice
Those yellow sac spiders are assholes. They are the only spiders i actively kill in my house. Every other spider i find i just leave alone but fuck those little yellow assholes. They just love to bite for no reason
I never refused to take a bite 😂 I haven’t ever come across one and their venom is harmless so it wouldn’t even come close to reacting the same as my other more dangerous spider bites
@@relicdad88sounds like he died of an infection which although was caused by the bite is different from dying by the venom of the bite.
Since an individual can be allergic to anything, how can you say that there's no risk of an allergic reaction?
You cannot be allergic to anything. There has never been a verified or documented case of anaphylaxis with a spider bite and it is unlikely that anyone is genuinely severely allergic to spider venom.
Yo your savage bro.! Absolute legend .
Jack, my friend, I tip my hat to you! What a courageous gentleman you are! Thank you for allowing yourself to be the experiment victim, rather than many, many poor, innocent animals being put through horrible agonies thanks to scientists and product mfgs. still using them to experiment on. Nothing replaces the first-hand knowledge of a human being who can tell you what hell he is feeling and is willing to endure that misery in order to further our knowledge and hopefully helping us prevent going through such trauma. I was afraid that you'd let a rattlesnake bite you, thank Heavens you didn't. Thank you, Jack, and PLEASE BE CAREFUL. Your body has undergone many awful punishments, please don't damage your health, as much as we appreciate your thirst for knowledge.
The diamondbacks are gorgeous animals.
I agree!
Twice bitten by a recluse. Missouri is absolutely packed with them. Anyone on here from Missouri can verify. I had small necrotizing holes. Massive bruising. Felt like a little shock. Like a 9 volt on the tongue. Less than that. The bruising was from my ankle to my right upper thigh. The other bite, i was sleeping. Still have a small hole about pencil tip. Armpit. Bruising from chest down arm. 3 days until purplish.
If you're in an area where you could potentially come in contact with rattlesnakes, you should be aware that they DO NOT always rattle before they strike. Their first defense is to freeze in hopes they're not seen. They know their rattle will let you know they're there. If you step close without seeing it and then step even closer or on it in the first place, you're very likely to be bitten without ever hearing a rattle. If you see one near you, get back quickly. Most rattlesnakes can strike outwards beyond their laying position between 1/3 and 1/2 of their total body length. They don't leap through the air or chase you, but you do need to quickly qive them space. Leave them alone and, please, please, please, do not kill them.
Well said. They can strike up to 2/3rds their body length!! Yikes! I live where we have Prairie Diamondbacks (closely related to Western Diamondbacks). They are also dangerous. In Canada it’s illegal to kill ANY Rattlesnake. The Timber Rattlesnake has already been extirpated from Canada and the others grow & reproduce slower than where it’s warmer. Due to the longer colder winters there’s also a higher mortality rate while wintering.
The bite is very painful, I know! I then had to climb about 150 vertical ft at about 30 degrees slope to get back to a radio & vehicle! Pre cell phones. THEN it was 2 hours to the nearest hospital driving. Half that time by helicopter, but they didn’t treat the snakebite that serious. In the interest of saving time I drive myself to meet the ambulance that was coming from the small town nearby. I was in an area they could never have gotten to with the ambulance as I was wayyy in the back country. I was in severe pain, the blood had distributed the venom throughout my body. I was sweating profusely and finding it very hard to focus. When I saw the ambulance I just drove my truck into the ditch, crawled out and laid propped up on my elbows until they got to me. They all knew me as we were all volunteer members with the local fire & ambulance. It was load & go because they knew how tough & stubborn I was and I just said “Thanks everyone, now please take me to the hospital.” There were profanities in there, I’m a red neck after all 😂😂, I just left them out. They never had seen me ask for help before!
I had multiple doses of antivenin and an overnight stay in the hospital. I stayed in the city though because they said I may lose my leg below the knee yet. I was bit in the top half of the calf. The snake was over 4 ft long. I could have stayed in the hospital but family lived nearby. When they cut the baseball sized chunk of meat out of my calf, I gave in & stayed for about 2 weeks (if I remember right) while they did skin grafts etc. it’s an ugly wound, but the calf is almost 100%. There are days when it can get sore if I’m on my feet all day, especially moving cattle. I’m retired now so it hasn’t hurt in a long time, 4+ years or so.
They said if I hadn’t called in there was a good chance I would have died of gangrene at the very least!! They are serious wounds if they envenomate you!
I've read somewhere that rattlesnakes are slowly losing or not using their rattles and eventually will lose them altogether bcuz humans are killing them for their rattles or food or just straight up killing them for nothing. Bcuz the rattle is making it easier for ppl to find them.
I have managed to only get bit by one of these species in all my years. It was a brown recluse that bit me on my middle finger. It was swollen for a couple of months, then itched off and on for almost the next three years. I wouldn't recommend intentionally getting bit by one since I have personally seen the results of one of the truly bad ones. The patient killed and brought in the spider that bit him, which was identified as a brown recluse spider. They were originally treated with antibiotics and steroids. They came back in one month later with a golf ball sized whole in their calf where the tissue had rotted away. In the end, they lost their lower leg from the infection from that wound caused by the spider.
rattlesnake rattling in a threat display, the snake is saying you are about to have a very bad day, AND IT MIGHT BE YOUR LAST!!😮
Naw its just hot out lol I use to hear it all the time as a kid
Laughs from Australia. Everything aside, nice informative video 👍

When I was 16, I thought I had a spider bite, big red patch with a central spot and a red stripe running up my arm. At the hospital they told me it was a staph infection and if I had come a day later it could have been much more serious.
I'm curious to know if there are ANY insects that make you squirm even just a little bit
Haha nope! Love them all!
@@JacksWorldofWildlife I love your videos, but I have to say it. You're weird dude : )
@@JacksWorldofWildlife I wish I was that brave haha, I find them all super cool but I like to admire from a very safe distance :')
Just going back through videos I've seen before and making sure to comment, plus it's nice to have in the background while doing other things ❤ sometimes I forget to comment!
One thing I did want to ask is, did you know before you got bit how you would react in each instance? I was absolutely shocked by the widow bite it terrifies me even after watching this before. The fact that it put you out of commission like that definitely gives me even more respect for those.
I usually have a good idea of the spectrum of effects before going into a test, so while things might be worse than I hope for, they’re not surprising.
@@JacksWorldofWildlife That makes complete sense and I figured you probably watched people dealing with bite symptoms and read about it before like the professional boss you are!
You could say a sting from a centipede is more like a really intense hug😂
Rattlesnakes are some of my favecanimals. I have literally stood in the middle of den sites with nary a tail twitch. But i always respect them and hsndlebwith care!
A dr i used to work with told me every case hes seen of supposed awful horrible brown recluse bites/necrosis, he believes either never was a spider bite at all but just an infected wound from some other source, or possibly was a recluse (or other) spider bite that got infected and the infection did the damage, not the spider technically. He said as long as you arent very young, very old, immune compromised then there is pretty much no serious risk other than infections. Plus we dont even have brown recluse here really but have met so many people who claim to have been bit by one here!
Absolutely! This is great to hear! If only more medical professionals had this information strait. That is accurate.
Where do you stay?
Glad to see your channel is growing Jack!
Thanks!
@@JacksWorldofWildlife right on! Thanks for responding! I'm a huge fan! Black widows have forever been my biggest fear even over great whites. Lol ... But watching you handle them is truly inspiring
@@GoTfan108 I'm a HUGE fan!

I just came across your channel all random and… you’re a freaking savage bro!
Waiting for the platypus sting? 🤔
😳
thanks a fascinating and informative video, how do scorpions rate versus these beautiful creatures, Jack?
When I was a teenager I would go spider hunting and didn't know any of this, I still scoop spiders up and put them outside if I don't want to deal with them but mostly just let them chill in the house and eat the annoying bugs. Someone was gonna smush a jumping spider and I scooped him up and said "nooo just put him outside don't kill him". Jumping spiders are the cutest lol.
Black widows are the cutest
Love this channel
May I ask... Were any of these worse than the Tarantula Hawk....
👀😂 just about all of them
You're crazy for allowing these things to bite you! I predict nightmares for me tonight!
HEY EVERYONE!
The number one slot is really venomous snakes as a whole, but our larger and more potent rattlesnakes easily are the worst and most painful venomous bites you can receive. I will be making a specific snake bite tier list in the future ranking our more dangerous snake bites but until then know that our other snakes (copperheads, cottonmouths and coral snakes) rest at a comfortable 1.5 ranking in this list. Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming ranking videos, I think you’ll like them 😉

How DEADLY Is The BITE Of The FUNNEL WEB SPIDER?!

3x bitten by the brown recluse and 2 bites occurred while crawling in bed. 1st one on my stomach, 2nd time on the lower part of my butt cheek, an the 3rd, was while setting on a log, another bite to the bum. Then wasnt but a week after the 3rd bite, a cow bee stung me right where the recluse got me. Let me just say, 11yrs in Mississippi was enough. But before leaving, sigh my foot found a fire ant hill which wasnt a mound yet. I never stripped so fast in my life. The dr that took care of my recluse bites, the fact you rot from the inside out, 4 days and the worst one was as big as the palm of my hand. They hurt! But so does that cow bee but not as bad as the red wasps they have. Neck sting left me with a stiff neck for nearly 5 weeks.
I thawt a brown widow wahsz a,auuh.ya one of those,
s a .lhmm.aahhhh..ll
