Here’s What Happens When A Dumb Guy Sticks His Tongue Into A Venus Flytrap

Today’s special delivery from the Department of “What the Hell Did You Think Would Happen?” is this video of a man voluntarily sticking his tongue into a venus flytrap. You’ll be not-very-shocked to learn that sticking a sensitive part of your body inside a carnivorous plant can have consequences — although the bloody outcome here seems dubious.

Despite the silly scene above, it’s unlikely that a venus flytrap could do serious harm to a normal-sized human being, considering its incisor-y protrusions are more like eyelashes than teeth. But that doesn’t mean that — under very specific circumstances — it wouldn’t do its damnedest to digest a human body. So if you ever find yourself in a Honey, I Shrunk the Kids-type situation, try to control your spirit for flytrap-related adventures.
