Kekuatan bisa

Bulu penyengat

Bulu atau rambut mungil patah di dalam kulit dan menyengat.

Apa efek bisanya?

The venom is held in sacs at the base of each spine and flows through the hollow spines into the wound. It causes disseminated intravascular coagulation, which stops the blood from clotting and leads to bleeding into the tissues and internal organs. After an initial phase of headache, fever, vomiting and malaise, a severe bleeding disorder can develop after about 24 hours.1

The caterpillar has been responsible for at least 500 deaths. In Brazil, 42,264 accidents were recorded between 2007 and 2017, of which 248 were severe and five were fatal. The reported death rate is 2.5%. Most victims were male (63%), and 45% were between 0 and 21 years old.1

Kabar baik: dokter punya obat (antibisa) atau pengobatan untuk ini.1

Apa yang dilakukannya saat takut?

Its body is covered in hairs and spines that break off easily and inject venom into anything that touches them.1

Jika kamu menyentuh bulunya

  • A study by Dr Robert Norris states that stings and abrasions should be treated with antifibrinolytics. If blood products are needed, they must be given with care so they do not worsen the bleeding. An antiserum made by the Butantan Institute in São Paulo reverses the clotting problems, and patients treated with it recover quickly.1
  • Untuk bulu ulat yang menyengat: angkat dengan selotip, lalu cuci kulitnya. Jangan digosok.
  • Untuk gigitan: cuci dan dinginkan. Cari bantuan medis jika orangnya merasa tidak enak badan atau mudah berdarah.
