Chilean recluse
ByteThe Chilean recluse is a brown spider from South America that is considered the most dangerous of the recluse spiders. Its bite can cause serious skin damage and, in rare cases, serious illness that affects the whole body. It is also known for spreading to homes and buildings in several other countries.1
Hoe om dit te herken
- Brown, ranging from light tan to brown.1
- Usually has a dark, violin-shaped marking on the top of the front body section, but this marking may not be visible.1
- Has six eyes arranged in three pairs, not the eight eyes most spiders have. Checking the eyes is more reliable than checking the marking.1
- Measures 8 to 40 mm including legs, making it one of the larger recluse species.1
- Builds irregular webs with a messy shelter of tangled threads. It leaves these webs at night to hunt.1
Word dikwels verwar met: Other recluse spiders look similar. The violin marking is not a reliable guide, so the eye arrangement is the more important feature for identification. Six eyes in three pairs is the key clue.1
Gifkrag
Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.
Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?
Its venom contains sphingomyelinase D, a substance that destroys skin and tissue. Most bites cause mild irritation, but serious bites can cause a necrotising skin ulcer, which is an open wound where tissue dies. In 10 to 15% of cases, the venom causes a whole-body condition that damages organs, blood cells and kidneys. Bites may feel fine at first, and visible damage can take up to seven hours to appear, while the venom can spread through the body within minutes.1
Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?
Gevaar vir mense: Ernstig'n Byt moet deur 'n dokter gesien word. Sterftes is baie skaars.Its bite often causes serious reactions, up to and including death. In a study covering 30 years of bites in Chile, 3 to 4% of cases ended in death. In a study of 250 cases in Santiago, Chile, from 1955 to 2000, 9 of the 47 people with the most severe whole-body reaction died. Skin damage can take months, and sometimes years, to heal, leaving deep scars.1
Goeie nuus: dokters het 'n medisyne (teengif) of 'n behandeling hiervoor.1
Wat doen dit as dit bang is?
It is not aggressive and usually bites only when it is pressed against skin, such as when someone puts on clothing where it is hiding.1
As dit byt
- Applying an ice pack helps, because the venom is more active at high temperatures. Aloe vera may soothe the skin and help control pain.1
- Was die byt en sit 'n yspak daarop vir die pyn. Kry mediese hulp as die pyn erg is, versprei of die persoon sleg voel.

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

Feite
Its venom contains sphingomyelinase D, which is otherwise found only in a few harmful bacteria.1
Its venom contains about ten times more of this substance than other sicariid spiders, such as the brown recluse, according to one study.1
A colony has lived in the Natural History Museum of Helsinki, probably introduced through fruit shipments in the 1960s and 1970s.1
It can survive for a long time without food or water, which helps it spread to new places around the world.1
Chile's Loxosceles laeta can produce 60 μg of venom by electrical stimulation, more than the related Loxosceles intermedia and Loxosceles gaucho.1
Mite-breker
Mite: The violin-shaped marking on its back is a reliable way to identify it.
Waarheid: The marking may not be visible and is not reliable. Counting the eyes, which are six in three pairs, is more important for identification.1
