So...since I'm on and off on whether to get a Poki or not (which will eventually happen at some point) I've tried to research on their venom. Almost every case I've read has ended in the hospital in pain but with no life threating situation. Also, as far as I've read, there's no specific anti-venom or any standard treatment for it.
Some of the treatments used were: Morphine, Diazepam, Paracetamol, Benadryl, steroids and also supplements like Calcium, Vitamin D, Glucosamine and Magnesium for relieving the muscle cramps.
There was also a case in Srilanka where the patient was treated with intravenous Calcium gluconate injections (i'm attaching a PDF, hope it works).
I was wondering if any of the Poki species is less venomous than the others?!
Please all you Poki victims out there, share your stories!
