ok its actually a myth but um imagine it isn't (or that we're dealing with the actual most venomous/poisonous insect in the world here).
if you squished this insect into a mush and added water so it was liquid and injected it into a person's vein would the poison kill them, or would you need about 1000000 of these insects to get anywhere near? what if you ate this insect?

slocki you are deliberately and maliciously misreading the question like how for a corrupt politician would for to do in order for to gain cheap points. the question refers to the poison of the most poisonous insect in the real world squished up into mush, the poison is very real

― Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 13 May 2008 22:25 (eighteen years ago)
Why wouldn't you want to just extract the poison rather than diluting it by squishing the entire insect?
