Content: Shrews have always had a reputation for being dangerous to humans. Shrews such as the Short-tailed Shrew have some venom in their bite, which will paralyze their prey. This is the key to how such a small mammal can take down a target much bigger than themselves. If a shrew were to bite a human, this would cause pain and swelling. While it’s not often that humans will need urgent care from shrew bites, it’s always best to treat a bite with extreme caution as they may have fed on other prey and have the possibility of transferring disease. Shrews eat everything from plants, mice, snakes, frogs, pigeons, salamanders, and even other shrews. When they consume these prey, they have the possibility of contracting or carrying specific bacteria, parasites, or diseases that may be transmitted to humans through bites. Shrew vs. vole vs. mole
