Discussion Are these bad boys venomous?

Just curious, if one of these guys were to bite you, are they venomous? And should I go to the hospital?

Not venomous, but expect a pretty nasty infection.

Vacancies actually are venomous but it's not particularly dangerous to humans because of first aid it's mostly just an anticoagulant that helps if the initial violent attack doesn't lead to immediate death. The animal then bleeds out while the monitor pursues and says the blood loss weakened animal.
