Is the narceus annularis poisonous?
The millipede will neither bite nor sting. But when under stress, some species secrete irritating liquid from the glands on the side of the body. Some people may experience allergic symptoms after contact with the fluid. If this liquid splashes into the eyes, it can cause severe pain.
