Dream - Some Indonesian people strongly believe in the myth about gecko bites, or better known as tokek. The prevailing myth suggests that tokeks have a very strong bite that is difficult to release by normal means.
According to the myth, a gecko's bite can only be released if the giant lizard-like creature hears thunder. However, a video uploaded on Instagram by @mksinfo.official proves that you don't have to wait for thunder to be free from a gecko's bite.
In the 10-second video, a student from a vocational high school can be seen leaning his right ear against the water flowing from the tap. At first, there doesn't seem to be anything strange with the student's right ear. But what's surprising is why the student is "washing his ear" with water.
After careful observation, it turns out that the male student is struggling to free his ear from the gecko's bite.
Tokek Gigit Telinga dengan Kuatnya Translation: "Gecko Bites Ear Strongly"
The following translation is done while preserving the HTML tags: "The fairly large gecko was seen biting the student's earlobe with great strength. As a result, the gecko appeared to be hanging with its mouth clutching the unfortunate student's earlobe."
Funny, the gecko with a skin full of red spots is not afraid even though its face is splashed with water. According to the video description, the student was bitten by a gecko on his ear while trying to get ablution water.
The student could only grimace in pain as his left ear became an easy target for the spotted gecko.
"He couldn't release the gecko's bite even though the reptile was washed with flowing water. Who knows how long that 'naughty' gecko will keep biting and hanging under the student's ear."
Just for information, geckos in Indonesia mostly belong to the Tokay Gecko species. This species is commonly found in human habitats. Regarding the strength of its bite, it all depends on the size of the gecko. The larger the size, the deeper and more painful the wound it can cause. Geckos are easily provoked reptiles and tend to bite. The grip of its bite is also quite tight and strong.
