Overview

• Jake Latimer was evacuated on Day 6 after a sea krait bit his foot in Fiji, marking Survivor’s first animal-related medical pull in 25 years.
• Doctors determined no venom was injected but said the environment made it unsafe to keep him in the competition.
• Host Jeff Probst described the response as unprecedented and confirmed Latimer was transported to base camp for immediate care.
• Probst later said producers briefly lost radio contact with the transport boat and that Latimer underwent observation and treatment off-site.
• Production reported Latimer is healthy and back home for his child’s birth, while emphasizing sea krait bites on humans are extremely rare.
