Summary Virologist and explorer Dr Mike Leahy welcomes up-close-and-personal encounters with the world's most dangerous creatures. Whether they want to suck, bite, sting or feed on his body, he'll do whatever it takes to better understand what they're all about.Whether it is an acid-spewing ant or an explosive beetle, Dr Mike is on the lookout for the creepiest crawlies travelling from Australia to Vietnam scouring for the most advanced killers in the animal kingdom.Under the watchful eye of medics, Mike endeavours to understand the science behind their secret weapons, and highlight how to avoid an unwanted close encounter.From the chaotic city streets of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, to exotic jungles and picturesque paddy fields, there's a lot to be on guard against in Vietnam for Dr Mike Leahy. In the heart of Southeast Asia, Vietnam is home to 90 million people, 10 million scooters and countless bugs and parasites. For Mike, it's a tempting destination providing plenty of opportunities to indulge his passion for small but potentially lethal creatures. It's here that he learns the hard way that there is a price to pay for his insatiably inquisitive nature. (From the UK) (Documentary Series) PG CCFollow the conversation on Twitter #SBSdoco
