From National Geographic.

Discover the Amazon rainforest with Eva zu Beck as she undertakes one of the world’s most intense indigenous pain rituals: the bullet ant ritual. Eva travels to Leticia, Colombia, to meet the Yukuna indigenous community. Her guide is Fermín, a respected shaman and expert in Yukuna culture and plant-based medicine. The Yukuna people practice ancient healing and protective rituals, often involving controlled pain to increase spiritual and physical strength. Eva commits to experiencing the ultimate test: being bitten by a handful of the Amazon’s most notorious insect, the bullet ant. Watch as Eva questions her decision and attempts to channel the resilience of the Yukuna culture to endure a pain she’s never experienced before.
