Bitten by Bloodworms!

Bloodworms are back. And this time, Mark's putting those razor sharp copper fangs to the test.

Meet the world's only venomous worm species. Using their bizarre proboscis, bloodworms hunt by striking and envenomating unsuspecting prey with a paralyzing toxin. And guess what we learned since the last video? You can GRAB that proboscis! You know that that means...

Mark ventures back into the mudflats of the Eastern Seaboard to dig up tons of these massive, creepy, bizarre, venomous worms... and take bite after bite after bite.

Do bloodworms bite?

Oh yeah they do.

Do bloodworm bites hurt?

You bet.

Do bloodworms hunt in packs?

Guess Mark will have to stick his hands into a giant tank full of bloodworms to find out...

That looks like something from my childhood nightmares and random thoughts, never thought I’d see something like it.

[Deezyful]

I love the first bite. Wrenching in agony, pulls it off, “it didn’t break skin the fangs are too small” lol

[booled]

This has to be one of the the most horrifying creatures to ever exist.

[jdssurf]

if these were giant school bus size can you imagine an invasion lol

I remember watching coyote Peterson when I was younger. I’m glad to see how far this channel has come

[SpecklesTeeV]

These are way bigger and terrifying than the ones in your first bloodworms video! Those copper teeth are defo sharp

[rtyrtyrtywtfgfg]

When my late brother in law lived in Maine, this was a weekend job for him. He'd sell packets of bloodworms to fisherman as a side job. Pretty cool you guys featured this episode.

Most animals don't scare or disgust me but these things are an easy 10/10 on that scale.

I once got bitten by one, but it was an accident.

I have never been fishing, or done anything like that (because my mom loves all animals and so do I), and even then, the only lures I'd ever seen were all synthetic/non-living.

One day, it had been raining, and I saw a big pink worm; it was moving weird, and even stranger, it had so many tiny legs...
I picked it up, and within a few seconds, I was so confused that it had bit me, and seemed to shoot itself out of its mouth!

Needless to say, I had never been bitten by a worm before.
I often would move worms out of flooded places to a less flooded place, or after a rain storm would move them from a sidewalk back to grass.

So after that one incident, I have learned that if a worm has legs, then do NOT pick it up to examine it!

Spiderman when he realizes if he gets bite by a furious animal again he can get more super powers:

I remember seeing giant versions of these in the King Kong movie as a kid. Traumatizing

[asahi]

That actually looks like an mongolian deathworm i didnt really think creatures like this existed. Anyways I love how your channel never brings us down no matter what u guys does

[Mikharov]

Another reason to stay away from quicksand, imagine u fall and then a bunch of this start coming out to bite you ☠️

[aliensoup]

Peter Jackson turned these into nightmare creatures in his version of King Kong.

[laurasmith]

He seems so calm when he's getting bite

[little.mizzfit]

I admire your bravery. It's not everyday you see someone willingly put themselves through such pain, but you've been doing this for _years._ That's insane! Love ya, man!

*Meanwhile Bear grylls: this is high in protein now that's enough for today, the breakfast has been arranged*

*Cameraman BTS: I want more toppings on my pizza* 💀💀

[D-me-dream-smp]

Those creatures are straight from a horror movie! Just watching its mouth coming towards the screen was terrifying enough no way would I let it latch onto me.
