Is orange fire worm dangerous to humans?
The body surface of the setaria has many tiny brush-like structures filled with venom. When these structures are in contact with the skin, they easily fall into the skin and cause tingling, and the degree of pain caused by different setworms is also different. Some people feel sick and dizzy after being stung by a setaria.
