Kibojja

Obusagwa bwakyo bukola ki?

Its venom has an LD50 of 8.0 mg/kg, which is a measure of toxicity. The amount that would be needed to reach this level is far more than the stinger carries, so a single sting delivers much less than this dose.1

Hundreds of people in Cuba are stung by this scorpion each year. The stings are not dangerous, because the amount of venom in the stinger is far below the LD50 level.1

Ebituufu

In Cuba, a mixture called escoazul is used in traditional medicine as an anti-inflammatory. It contains a diluted dose of this scorpion's venom.1

Only 15% of these scorpions reach adulthood, because lack of food is a major problem for them.1

Its life expectancy is three to five years.1
