Gary Golding was evacuated from “Naked and Afraid” due to medical reasons after consuming a dead baby goat that had been dead for too long, leading to food poisoning.
On the show “Naked and Afraid,” participants are challenged to survive in the wilderness without clothing or supplies for 21 days. Gary Golding appeared on the show in an episode that took place in Belize. During his time there, he came across a dead baby goat, which he decided to consume despite the risks associated with eating carrion. Unfortunately, the meat was spoiled, and as a result, Gary suffered from food poisoning.
The show’s medical team closely monitors the participants’ health, and when they assessed Gary’s condition, they determined that he needed to be evacuated for his safety. Food poisoning can lead to severe dehydration and other life-threatening complications, especially in a survival situation without immediate access to medical care.
Gary’s evacuation was a reminder of the harsh realities of survival situations and the importance of making safe decisions when it comes to sourcing food in the wild. His experience on “Naked and Afraid” also highlighted the risks that participants are willing to take in order to succeed on the show, as well as the unpredictable nature of survival challenges.
