毒液之力

蜇伤

毒液通过蜇刺出来。

它的毒液会造成什么?

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

它对人有多危险?

对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼,但几乎从不严重。

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
