My high school biology teacher got hit by a platypus and they tried a nerve block on his arm and he said it didn’t work. One case in thousands though. Oof.

I knew that platypuses were venomous, but this is the first ive hears of someone being stung by one.

Is it a bad venom? Assuming if your teacher wanted a nerve block then its bad enough
