Im watching monkey life season 12 and dr alison cronin mbe is rearing a slow loris baby, its said the poison is in its sweatglands on the armpits. It then wipes the said poison round its body and teeth, then if it bites you your body begins to rot like the flesh eating bug/virus.
Catch up with slow loris, Nora and see how she is settling into life at Monkey World.

What you said in your OP is a little exaggerated.
True, they do have a kind of venom, but that doesn't make your body to rot away.
Slow Loris aren't Komodo dragons.
Seems, people who died had an anaphylactic shock, like after a bee or wasp sting.
The secretion from the brachial gland of captive slow lorises is similar to the allergen in cat dander, hence the secretions may merely elicit an allergic reaction, not toxicosis. Loris bites cause a painful swelling, and the single case of human death reported in the scientific literature was believed to have resulted from anaphylactic shock.
To protect itself, the Slow loris has also been observed to rub the venom on its fur to chemically-defend itself from predators.

The keeper doesn't seem afraid.

I'm just glad that people finally got more politically correct and stopped calling them Retarded Loris.

I've never watched Futurama so I can't say.

Was the character of Nibbler in Futurama based on a slow loris?

Hard to believe that anything that adorable could kill you with its toxic armpits.

I like that you tag specific people when enough of your threads have gone unread.
Hey! Hey, you! Yes, you! Get over here and listen to what I have to say!
