What's On NAT GEO Wild

Bite me with Dr Mike Leahy

Sat @ 13:00 GMT

Whether it is an acid-spewing ant, an explosive beetle or an erection-inducing spider, Dr. Mike Leahy is on the lookout for the creepiest crawlies in his new series Bite Me with Dr. Mike Leahy. Scouring the globe for some of the most advanced killers in the animal kingdom, Mike proves that size does not matter when it comes to posing the biggest threat to humans.

Bite Me with Dr. Mike Leahy enters the domain of some lethal beasties – under the watchful eye of the medic – to understand the science behind their secret weapons, and highlight how to avoid an unwanted close encounter. A doctor of virology by trade, Mike climbs a 30-metre mountain of cockroach-infested bat guano in Borneo and gets knee-deep in mud in search of tiny lethal creatures. He also gets up close and personal with nasty parasites, triple-threat lizards and a frisky fish able to weave its way right up into a human’s urethra.
