Oh shyt:

>>>The earliest documented case of envenomation appears to be that of Jamieson (1817, cited in Martin and Tidswell, 1895), who described the effects of envenomation: "[the platypus] stuck its spurs into the palm and back of his right hand with such force, and retained them in with such strength that they could not be withdrawn until it was killed. The hand instantly swelled to a prodigious bulkThe pain from the first was insupportable[he] did not recover the perfect use of his hand for nine weeks".

That says only the male platypus is venomous though :p
