WATCH NEXT:

A toxic and invasive species has made its way into the DMV and experts are reminding everyone not to touch them.

Hammerhead worms, a type of flathead worm, are carnivorous and secrete potent, paralyzing tetrodotoxin, the same lethal toxin found in puffer fish. 

Several were recently spotted at a home in northern Virginia.

"Tetrodotoxin is believed to incapacitate large prey so they can be consumed by the worm. This nasty toxin may also help the worm defend itself from its own predators. Domestic animals that contact or consume these worms may experience discomfort or illness and people who have handled the worm report skin irritations.” says Michael J. Raupp, Professor of Entomology at the University of Maryland.
