Uburozi mu ruhu rwayo

Uruhu rwayo rufite uburozi. Ni bibi kuyikoraho, kuyirigata cyangwa kuyirya.

The bootlace worm does not bite or sting, so it is poisonous rather than venomous. Its mucus contains a relatively strong neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves. The mucus is highly toxic, but tests showed low toxicity in human cells.1
