Bullet Ant is a tropical rainforest ant which is considered to have the most painful sting amongst the insects, comparable to a bullet shot. Satere-Mawe people of Brazil use these ant stings as part of a traditional rite of passage. The ants once gathered are sedated and placed into gloves with all their stingers facing inward. Once they regain consciousness boys from the community wear the gloves for at least 10 mins twenty times in their lifetime to be considered a warrior. The venom causes paralysis of the arm and uncontrollable shaking of the body leading to changes in consciousness.
