. Reginald Foggerdy (aged 62,), who lived for six days in Australia’s outback without food or water and survived on black ants only. The Ant Man is Mr. Foggerdy’s nickname. He has diabetes. The hunter was hunting camels in remote bushland about miles) from Laverton in Western Australia. The first four days were the most difficult. He didn’t have anything to eat and drink. He found a nest full of black ants on day five and consumed twelve. He ate eighteen more on day 6. On the sixth day, Mr. Foggerdy became severely dehydrated. A grandfather said that they tasted good in an interview with Channel Seven. They can call me an antman, but I won’t mind. It was easier to be at peace with my body than it was to just lie there and die. “I’ve seen people die after only three days without water. I don’t understand how I managed to survive.” Lost while chasing a camel. Mr. Foggerdy shot a camel and then followed the animal on foot. He got lost in the chase. The dead animal was found by him, but he didn’t have any knives so he couldn’t cut its hide. He could have eaten the flesh of the animal if he’d had a knife. He said that he didn’t realize that he was chasing the camel and didn’t know exactly where he was. “I didn’t want it to happen, but that was how it happened.” Robin Smythe (an Aboriginal elder) spotted the faint footprint of Mr. Foggerdy and alerted police. He was saved by his quick and wise actions. All cultures have ants as part of their daily diet. Foggerdy doesn’t believe that he is strong. “I’d say that I’m lucky. As the policeman was shaking my hand, I opened my eyes and saw all of these officers standing there. He was so happy that he was shaking me. He later saw search helicopters, and waved at them. But they didn’t see him. He is currently in recovery and described also seeing a vehicle white within 2 meters. However, he believes it to be a hallucination. The health benefits of ants are well documented by Men’s Health. A Journal of Science and Technology study found that black ants are a Chinese traditional edible insect species. Researchers wrote that the researchers of this study had determined the nutritional composition for the black ant. This included vitamins, minerals, amino acids (SOD), Vitamin E and total acid.
