Thank God that you are not born in these Traditions and Customs in this birth!!
1 Bullet Ant Glove tradition- to prove you are a Man!!!
Satere-Mawe tribe of the Amazon rainforest tribe follows a custom whereby a boy is said to enter adulthood only after he deals with bullet ants first hand (quite literally).
2 Bathroom Ban of Tidong- Three-day ban on newlyweds from using the bathrooms
Tidong community of Indonesia would not allow newly wedthe bathroom for three days post the wedding! Now what reason can be compelling enough to keep the newlyweds from clearing out their gut and emptying their bladder?
3. Foot Binding Custom
This one comes from the crazy land known to the world as China. It involves extremely tight binding of a young girl’s feet to keep them from growing big. And not just that, some women were made to undergo this ordeal simply because they belonged to wealthy families. Because they were not required to move their feet much, they were kept bound. And eventually, it came to be known as a symbol of status and beauty in Chinese culture.
By the 20th century, the custom began to die out, owing to the fact that it gave birth to life-long disabilities.

1 Bullet Ant Glove tradition- to prove you are a Man!!!
Satere-Mawe tribe of the Amazon rainforest tribe follows a custom whereby a boy is said to enter adulthood only after he deals with bullet ants first hand (quite literally).
- The elders collect not one, but a swarm of ants from the forest, and drug them.
- The drugged ants are left loose in the gloves made of woven leaves. By this time, the drug effect on the ants starts to subside and they become too agitated and get ready to sting.
- The young boy puts on the gloves infested by the killer ants. He keeps them on for 10 minutes, and not just for once. The poor guy has to do it as many times as it takes for him to bear the pain without shedding a single tear. Because it is only then that he is said to become a real man. Sometimes, the number of attempt goes up to 20!
- The feeling of bullet ants chewing on hands is described by a tribesman to be equivalent to placing the hand on naked fire. But this is not the most painful thing, the level of pain that occurs after the gloves are taken off is unprecedented and it is now that the hands swell up like crazy.
2 Bathroom Ban of Tidong- Three-day ban on newlyweds from using the bathrooms
Tidong community of Indonesia would not allow newly wedthe bathroom for three days post the wedding! Now what reason can be compelling enough to keep the newlyweds from clearing out their gut and emptying their bladder?
- They believe that if the couple use the bathroom in the prohibited duration, then they would bring upon themselves bad luck, failed marriage, infidelity, and death of their children at young age.
- The couple is kept under a tight watch of several relatives and offered minimal food and drink to make the three-day no-bathroom period easier. (Like that would help!) After the three-day ritual comes to an end, they are bathed and then commences the normal life.

- The binding was initiated before the arch of the foot could fully develop. And to make the complicated process of binding easier, the feet were made to soften by soaking them in a mixture of blood and herbs.
- Toenails were cut back as far as they could so that the ingrowth could be prevented.
- The bandages were prepared by, again, soaking them in blood and herb mixture.
- The toes were then curled back and squeezed into the foot’s soul so hard that it broke.
- The girls, obviously, could not walk, work, or do any kind of movement with their feet.
