| Abstract | Venomous animals are those that, by means of a hunting and defense mechanism, are able to inject their prey with a toxic
substance produced in their bodies, directly from specialized glands (e.g., tooth, sting, spur) through which the poison passes.
Millipedes are poisonous animals; they can be harmful to humans, and their effects usually manifest as erythematous, purpuric,
and cyanotic lesions; local pain; and paresthesia. Here, we report a case of skin contact with a millipede for 6h resulting in skin
lesions similar to blue toe syndrome. | pt_BR |
