There is a man in China who can eat live scorpions without
suffering any side effects, save for the pain of getting stung now
and again.
Today we meet Li Liuqun, 58, a man with a passion for scorpion.
Yummy!!
This self-proclaimed scorpion addict has spent the last thirty
years devouring over 10,000 scorpions. According to OddityCentral,
he merely picks them up—they’re still alive, mind you—and stuffs
them down his mouth like a really big piece of fried chicken.
His habit began 30 years ago when, while hiking, he was stung by
a scorpion. In anger, Li picked up the vile beast and devoured it.
Now that’s a man who believes in revenge! Regardless, Li enjoyed
the sweet and nutty taste, so he continued eating them.
Despite being stung hundreds of times, Li still stands tall and
healthy. He has suffered a bit of swelling in the mouth, but I
guess it’s worth the hassle for a good ol’ piece of live
scorpion!
