Fire Ants *Spoilers*


I was a bit confused about why he was so adamant about wanting to be attacked by the fire ants after just having survived the quicksand. I have my speculation, theory, but I'm curious if any other responses might align with that.

He had no more energy left. Yossi grabbed the tree and let the fire ants 🐜 bite him because the pain from being bitten constantly would induce a rush of adrenaline. This would help him continue to move forward to where he thought the river was.

Good response. It does align with my speculation.

Adrenaline, yes.
