If a slow loris bites a human, the human may slowly lose the effected area. If a human bites a slow loris, the slow loris may quickly lose the effected area. Checkmate, slow loris.

Knew I'd see my supervisor's name in the article. The necrosis is, in some ways, the least cool reaction to their bite. Slow loris captive carers (zoo and wildlife centres) reported after a slow loris bite some developed anaphylaxis allergy reactions just being in a room with a loris. Meanwhile other captive loris care practitioners said getting bit was no worse than a bee's sting. Completely opposite ends of the loris reaction spectrum.
