The Brazilian whiteknee tarantula is a large spider from Brazil, known for the bright white bands on its legs. It is often kept as a pet because it is hardy and striking to look at. Its size means that even though its venom is not medically significant, a bite can still damage tissue.1

Gifkrag

Byte

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

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

The venom is not considered medically significant. Because this tarantula is large, its bite can still cause tissue damage. It bites mainly when provoked, and it defends itself first with urticating hairs, which are fine hairs that irritate human skin.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.

Its venom is not considered medically significant, but its large size means a bite can cause tissue damage. Its urticating hairs can also be quite irritating to human skin.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

It is usually somewhat defensive and flicks urticating hairs at threats. Biting is typically not its first line of defence.1

As dit byt

Was die byt en koel dit af. Kry mediese hulp as die pyn erg is of die persoon sleg voel.

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
