Why is centipede poison?

The first pair of feet of 0 1 centipede are pointed hooks, and there are poisonous glands at the end of the hooks, called palatal teeth, claws or poisonous limbs, which can discharge venom. The venom of centipede is acidic and contains two toxic components similar to bee venom, which can cause local tissue damage and lymphangitis. Centipede bites can cause redness, headache, fever, vomiting, and even convulsions and coma. So centipedes and scorpions, spiders and poisonous snakes are all poisons in the animal kingdom.

Centipede is a very fierce carnivore. Maybe you don't believe it. A seemingly weak centipede with a body length of about 20 cm can catch a lively mouse and entangle it as a snack. In fact, eating mice by centipedes is a piece of cake. You can also kill poisonous snakes many times bigger than yourself! Someone took a video of a centipede biting a snake and posted it online. Because it was so shocking, it was madly forwarded. I saw the centipede tightly wrapped around the snake's body with its feet. No matter how the snake struggles, it just doesn't relax and keeps biting the snake with its fangs. Within four or five minutes, the snake writhed in pain and was dying.

Why is the centipede so vicious? It turns out that the first pair of feet of centipede are pointed hooks, and there are poisonous glands at the end of the hooks, called palatal teeth, claws or poisonous limbs, which can expel venom. When centipede bites its prey, its venom glands secrete a large amount of venom, which is injected into the skin of the bitten person along the mouth of the venom glands of the maxillary teeth, making it poisoned. The venom of centipede is acidic and contains two toxic components similar to bee venom, which can cause local tissue damage and lymphangitis. Centipede can not only deal with insects, earthworms, mice and other small animals, but also cause redness, headache, fever, vomiting and even convulsions and coma when biting people. Because of this, centipedes and scorpions, spiders and poisonous snakes are among the poisons in the animal kingdom.

Although the centipede is vicious, it can only give in easily in front of ants much smaller than it. Ants live in groups and fight. Hundreds of ants crawled on the centipede and bit it. The centipede died and became the food for the ants!

Centipede is rich in protein, various enzymes and metal elements. It is a well-known Chinese medicine, which has the effects of expelling wind, relieving spasm, dredging collaterals, relieving pain, attacking toxin and resolving hard mass.
