'Naked and Afraid' Contestant Eating Leeches, Full Survival Mode

“Naked & Afraid” continues to reach new milestones… this time it's a starving contestant driven to chew on leeches that tried to eat her, and the visuals are not for the weak!

The breathtaking survival tactic is put into action on Sunday's episode of the Discovery Channel hit — Sara Barnett's instincts kick into gear as he wades through crocodile-filled waters in search of food, suddenly choosing to turn the tables on the blood-bloated suckers.

Sarah fearlessly pulls several wriggling leeches from her leg, gathering just enough to keep her hunger at bay and her mate fed. Sam Strongin their struggle for survival in the unforgiving wilderness of South Africa's Black Hills.

Of course, Sarah isn't aiming for Michelin stars here, she's just focused on staying alive – as you can see when she bravely chomps down on one of those suckers… being seared over their campfire.

Sarah very casually informs Sam about the extreme menu item and tells him that blood burst into her mouth when she bit into the leech.

Even though she doesn't have a gag reflex, poor Sam feels the pressure when she sees Sarah eating… and decides to give it a hard pass, despite being absolutely hungry.

Hey, everyone has a limit, even on “Naked and Afraid.”

These California residents won't just be fighting leeches; they also dodge man-eating crocodiles, prowling lions and venomous snakes during their 21-day survival challenge.
