Its venom contains a peptide toxin, a small protein-like molecule. It activates a pain-sensing receptor in nerve cells called TRPA1, causing sharp pain and greater sensitivity to pain. It does not cause inflammation, which is the swelling and redness caused by the body's immune response.1
它对人有多危险?
对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。Its sting can cause local pain and swelling in people.1

注意安全
- 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物,即使是很小的,即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
- 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
- 如果被它蜇了:保持冷静,保持不动,拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样,拍张照片会有帮助。
它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识

事实
Its venom toxin has been named the Wasabi Receptor Toxin, or WaTx.1
The toxin targets TRPA1, the same receptor that detects the spicy ingredients in mustard, onion and wasabi plants.1
In captivity it is relatively easy to keep, and it can live for 6 to 10 years.1
It is one of the scorpion species most commonly seen for sale in Australian pet shops.1
