This has got to be one of the ULTIMATE Darwin Award winners...
Actual story went viral a few months ago after the death was reported and podcasters have been gradually covering it in their programs. In late 2024, a Brazilian teenager, possibly told by someone that doing so would get him high, took an adult monarch butterfly, crushed and ground the insect into water to make a paste, and then injected the mixture into one of his thighs. Just a couple of days later, the boy was admitted to the hospital suffering from convulsions, vomiting, high fever, and intense pain in his leg at the site of the injection. Broad spectrum antibiotics had no effect and the leg began to turn blue and necrotic. A few days later, the boy passed away in the ICU from systemic organ failure. Doctors had no idea what mystery illness had caused this until the boy's father told them that he had suspected that his son had injected something into himself after finding the syringe and needle in his room. Tests of the contents still left in the syringe revealed the rest of the answers. The boy's death was most likely caused by the combined effect of systemic septicemia caused by the bacteria-laden remains of the butterfly directly entering the bloodstream, as well as toxins present in the butterfly itself. All species of monarchs are poisonous to deter birds and mammals from eating them.
