The poison is a neurotoxin with fairly low toxic effects on people, relative to its effect on insects. At low doses it works as a repellent for insects, but at higher doses it kills them by over-exciting their nerves. At very high doses, it can be a fairly toxic product for all forms of animal life.
Razor burn is not an actual burn, but an irritation of the skin. The affected area will look red and may even swell. Itâs common for razor bumps, also known as pseudofolliculitis barbae, to appear in the area. Razor bumps are tiny, red bumps that sometimes itch and feel tender to the touch. Razor bumps and razor burn are temporary and can heal on their own in a few days.
Some people have a greater tendency to scar. It is difficult to predict how much scarring any one person will have since the amount is also determined on an individual basis and by the depth of your burn. Scarring from first-degree burns and light second-degree burns may disappear within a few months. Areas of deep second degree and third-degree burns may continue to build up scar tissue for at least two years. At this point, some of your scars may start to gradually disappear. You can also expect some of them to be permanent. Your physician, nurse or therapist will provide you with this information.
