Even in death, Steve Irwin is more of a bad motherfucker than you'll ever be

im sure it didnt effect whether he lived or not, because the barb was poisonous. It just made it more badass that he pulled the barb out of him. Just imagine if he would have caught the barb right before it hit him and they had it on film. He would be god.

The poison isn’t really a big deal. The poison is more of a pain inducing agent than anything else. Its part of a defense mechanism to cause as much pain as possible so the stingray can escape.
