![]() ![]() Humans have been attacked and killed by electric eels, but strictly in defense and not for food. This immobilizes the animal so the electric eel can swallow its prey whole. These high-voltage pulses are so strong that they remotely activate the neurons inside the prey, making their muscles spasm. Once the wound has properly healed the patient may then go back to the doctor to have the dressing removed and examined before being allowed to leave.Electric eels can produce 600-volt electric pulses up to 400 times per second. To help the victim feel less pain, the doctor may prescribe painkillers. The doctor may then apply antibiotics on the open wound then dress the wound with a bandage. The treatment for a moray eel bite if not serious usually involves proper wound care that includes washing the wound thoroughly with antiseptic.
