I always assumed that they did, and all of the sources I've read say that they do, but someone tried to argue with me about it on facebook, so I'm wondering if I'm wrong or if the other person is. They say urticating hairs are irritating just because of the shape of the hairs and that they don't release venom onto the hairs, but that seems wrong to me. This convo also made me more interested in learning, if they do have venom on their hairs, is it the same venom as their bite or a different one, and how is it delivered to the hairs? I would imagine it is a different venom since T venom is (to my understanding) mostly designed to dissolve food while the hairs are used solely as a defensive mechanism. Anyone have sources to learn more about this?
