Scorpion Addict Immune To Poison

A Chinese man can eat live scorpions without suffering any side effects. Li Liuqun, 58, is a man with a passion for the scorpion. This self-proclaimed scorpion addict has spent the last thirty years eating over 10,000 scorpions. He picks them up – alive – 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. Angrily, Li picked up the scorpion and devoured it. Li enjoyed the sweet and nutty taste, so he continued eating them.

Despite being stung hundreds of times, Li still is healthy. He has only suffered a bit of swelling in the mouth.
