Hahn's six-eyed sand spider is a medium-to-large spider that lives in deserts and sandy places in southern Africa. It rests flat against the ground or under a little loose soil, and its velvety hairs let it blend in almost perfectly. Its bite can be medically significant, but people rarely come across it.1

Tuis
It lives in sandy areas, usually under stones, buried in sand at the entrances of animal burrows, or at the base of rock overhangs and cliff faces. It is found in deserts, grassland, fynbos, Karoo and savanna. People are unlikely to meet it because it is reclusive and prefers untouched, open land.1

Gifkrag

Byte

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

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

All Hexophthalma spiders produce venom with dermonecrotic effects, which means it can destroy skin and tissue. The damage is caused by proteins related to sphingomyelinase D, which are found in the venom of all sicariid spiders. For this species, the detailed effects on humans are unknown, because its venom has mainly been studied in the laboratory.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: Ernstig'n Byt moet deur 'n dokter gesien word. Sterftes is baie skaars.

The spider is capable of a medically significant bite. Serious or even life-threatening wounds are possible, especially if the wound becomes infected or the venom spreads through the body. No bites from this spider in southern Africa have been proven, and contact with people is considered unlikely.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

It relies on stillness and camouflage rather than running, and it can shift quickly across loose sand when disturbed.1

As dit byt

  • 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.

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
