10 Seemingly Harmless Beings That Are Dangerous

Since childhood, we hear that animals like bees and snakes are dangerous. But have you ever stopped to think if all the plants in your backyard are harmless to your children and pets?

Incrível.club has prepared a list of things that seem harmless, but are not. Check it out and be surprised!

One look at this big-eyed little guy is enough to melt a person’s heart. But a slow loris can cause a lot of problems. The furry creature carries a toxin released by the gland in your elbows. Faced with a threat, lorises can take the toxin into their own mouth, mix it with saliva and bite the enemy. It’s quite painful, and toxin can cause death by anaphylactic shock🇧🇷

When seeing a coconut tree, we usually think of paradisiacal scenarios. But in fact, these trees can be very dangerous. They reach up to 30 meters in height, and its fruit can weigh up to 1.5 kilograms🇧🇷 Now imagine something like that falling on your head. It is definitely better not to stay under a coconut tree to protect yourself from the sun.

Children often visit farms and farms thinking that all the animals there are the cutest and friendliest creatures in the world. This is only partially correct, especially with regard to geese. Just look at the image above: does it look friendly? It’s best not to even try to pet them, and it’s also important to teach children not to do the same. Geese can be aggressive, especially when they are waiting for their eggs to hatch. Some breeds are even used as guard animals.

Eating something you don’t know is never a good idea. But in this specific case, care needs to be redoubled. Perhaps someone might think that it is just a harmless seed, but that is not the case. The rosary pea is widely used in the manufacture of jewelry, and some tribes use them to make poisonous weapons. One seed is enough to kill children and adults.

These animals are normally not aggressive and tend to inhabit parks in various cities around the world. And many people cannot resist the temptation to feed the animals, despite being contraindicated. When squirrels feel uncomfortable, they can bite, and we know that they transmit various diseases, such as salmonella, encephalitis and rabies.

It is unlikely that you will ever have much contact with a platypus. But it’s good to know that these animals are known for their poisonous spurs they have on their ankles. The venom is not lethal to humans, but it causes such intense pain that the victim can be incapacitated. Although only male individuals release venom, it is better not to risk it and try to find out the sex of the animal.

Closely related to poison hemlock (the plant that killed Socrates), water hemlock was considered “the most violently toxic plant in North America”🇧🇷 It is easily confused with celery, parsnip and parsley. However, the entire plant, including the flowers, is poisonous. After ingesting any part of the plant, the person can die within a few hours. Don’t even try to touch them.

Another animal that most people are unlikely to have contact with. But it’s worth knowing. These beautifully colored creatures can be found in rock pools and coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, from Japan to Australia. Its bites are small and painless, so it is common for victims to not even realize that they have been poisoned until the first symptoms appear: respiratory pressure and paralysis. No antidote has been discovered to date. But first-aid treatment includes putting pressure on the wound and artificial respiration until the paralysis subsides, at which point the victim will be able to breathe again on their own.

Poison dart frogs are common in the Amazon and Central America. The most toxic ones are usually tiny and their bright color warns of toxicity. But there are also other types of dangerous frogs and toads in other parts of the world. These animals can potentially be deadly for you and your pets. So it’s better to leave this story of kissing a frog to fairy tales thinking he’s going to become a prince.

Ok, they are not plants or animals, but they are extremely dangerous, as they ‘come to life’ when you try to tilt them to pick up a product. Data indicate that self-service machines kill between 4 and 6 times more people in the US annually than sharks. Do not play with them! If your stuff got stuck inside, it’s better to forget about it, try to buy it again or call a person responsible for the equipment.🇧🇷 But never try to tilt the machine: even if it is installed correctly, it could fall and hurt you.

These are the unexpected things we discover that can be dangerous. Do you have any news of other plants and animals that we could include in this list? Leave your comment so we can make the world a safer place!
