Turns Out, Caterpillar Fungus is Crunchy | Primal Survivor

traditional doctors or um cheese are
highly respected and regularly consulted
here their methods have been passed down
from generation to generation
they are reputed to be able to transform
Mountain herbs into remedies to treat
everything from our thright Asst tame
digestion but to protect me at high
altitude it wasn’t a plant that the arm
Chi prescribed this is a caterpillar
that lives out here it’s a special
caterpillar in that there’s a parasitic
fungus that eats away at the insect and
then finally winds up growing out of the
head of the caterpillar it’s a bit
strange but everything that the Mustang
nomads have showed me so far has really
helped me out so
awfully crunchy caterpillar fungus is
believed to improve the body’s ability
to deliver oxygen to the vital organs
taste tastes like um really crunchy
cardboard considering everything I’ve
eaten on this trip it’s not too bad
and it could be a lifesaver this climb
will expose me to an invisible killer
altitude sickness the yaks are built for
this mountain air their blood can hold
three times more oxygen than regular
cattle but I am way out of my comfort
zone
