Survivor fans saw one of the scariest moments in the show’s 25-year history when season 49 castaway Jake Latimer was removed from the game after he was bitten by a venomous sea snake.

The castaways on the Kele tribe were calm at first during the Wednesday, October 8, episode, as Jake, 36 wasn’t even sure he had been bitten. But when he saw bite marks on his foot and tribemate Alex Moore went to check the safety guide at camp, he saw it was from a venomous sea krait.

Fortunately, production had a boat at Kele beach already delivering camera equipment, host Jeff Probst explained in the accompanying episode of the “On Fire” podcast.
