Keyserling's wandering spider

Δύναμη δηλητηρίου

Δαγκώματα

Το δηλητήριο βγαίνει από τα δόντια του όταν δαγκώνει.

Τι κάνει το δηλητήριό του όταν δαγκώνει ή τσιμπάει;

The venom contains neurotoxins, which attack the nerves. They are similar to those isolated from Phoneutria nigriventer and act on the ion channels (gates that control charged particles such as calcium, sodium and potassium) in nerve cells, and on NMDA-type glutamate receptors (chemical receptors in the brain and nerves). The venom also contains CRISP-1, a protein that acts as an allergen.1

Πόσο επικίνδυνο είναι για τους ανθρώπους;

This spider should be treated with caution. Studies on its close relatives are scarce, so less is known about this species than about some others. CRISP-1 is known to cause a dangerous allergic reaction in humans.1
