VIDEO: Radio DJ puts himself through 'the worst pain known to man'

For reasons best known to himself, an Australian DJ volunteered to put his hands into gloves full of bullet ants and filmed it all for our entertainment/horror.

For reasons best known to himself, a radio DJ volunteered to suffer what is cheerfully known as 'the worst pain known to man' and film it all for our entertainment/horror.

Hamish from Australian radio duo Hamish and Andy underwent an Amazonian tribe's coming-of-age ritual which involves putting your hand into a pair of gloves filled with bullet ants.

Warning: It's a bit of a tough watch

The ants release a toxin that causes the worst pain a human can experience - a burning, throbbing pain that can last up to 24 hours. Bullet ants are so-called as their sting allegedly feels like getting shot.

Judging by poor Hamish's reaction, their name is justified.

We do feel a little bad for laughing when he was told that the cure for the blinding pain he was in was dancing.

And God love him, he tried.
