What happens if a moray eel bites you?
Are there possible complications from a moray eel bite? Unless your bite is treated quickly with antibiotics, a secondary infection may occur. Septicemia, a serious blood stream infection, may also occur. Bacteria in the water where you’re bitten can also cause infection in the wound.
Can moray eels shock you?
They have three electric organs that contain cells called electrocytes. When the electric eel senses prey or feels threatened by a predator, electrocytes create an electrical current that can release up to 600 volts (if you are unlucky enough to be shocked by 600 volts, it won’t kill you on its own, but it will hurt).
