Chefo ya yona (eo e e kenyang ka ho loma kapa ho hlaba) e etsang?

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

E kotsi hakae ho batho?

Kotsi ho batho: E bohlokoE ka utlwisa bohloko haholo, empa hoo e batlang e le kamehla ha e kotsi haholo.

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
