Gifkrag

Byte

Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

It is rear-fanged, which means its fangs sit at the back of the mouth. Its venom has proteolytic activity, meaning it breaks down proteins, and it can stop blood platelets from clumping together, which affects clotting. Local effects include bleeding, muscle death, swelling and inflammation of the tissue.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.

It is considered dangerous to humans and should be treated with caution. No bite numbers or deaths are recorded.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When frightened, it releases a foul-smelling substance from its cloaca, which is the common opening for its digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. It is generally non-aggressive.1

As dit byt

  • Was die byt, hou die persoon kalm en kry mediese hulp. Sommige spesies (soos die boomslang) kan ure later dodelik wees.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

  • Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
  • Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
  • As een jou byt: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly
