Blue Mountains funnel-web spider
The Blue Mountains funnel-web spider is a venomous spider found in eastern Australia. It lives in the Blue Mountains and the Illawarra District of New South Wales. Its bite can cause serious symptoms, so it is important to know what it looks like and what to do after a bite.1

Engeri y'okukitegeera
- Shiny black carapace (the hard shield covering the front of the body)1
- Black to dark brown legs and chelicerae (the fang-bearing mouthparts)1
- Male has a pale patch on the top of the abdomen1
- Female has a maroon-brown abdomen1
- Male carapace is slightly longer than wide; female carapace is roughly square1
Kitera okutabulwa ne: It is closely related to the Sydney funnel-web spider (Atrax robustus), and its colouring is similar to most other Australian funnel-web spiders.1
Amaanyi g'obusagwa
Obusagwa buyita mu mannyo gaakyo amawanvu (fangs) oba mu mannyo amalala nga kiruma.
Obusagwa bwakyo bukola ki?
Its venom contains versutoxin, a neurotoxin (a poison that attacks the nerves) that is very similar to robustoxin from the Sydney funnel-web spider. It causes an autonomic storm, a disruption of the body's automatic systems. Symptoms can start within 15 to 20 minutes and include sweating, local pain at the bite site, fluid in the lungs (pulmonary oedema), high blood pressure, nausea and vomiting.1
Kirina akabi kenkana wa eri abantu?
Akabi eri abantu: Kya kabi nnyoKisobola okutta omuntu atafunye bujjanjabi.One in nine recorded bites by this spider has caused severe symptoms. Females are thought to be more venomous than males, possibly because they inject more venom.1
Amawulire amalungi: abasawo balina eddagala (antivenom) oba obujjanjabi ku kino.1
Bwe kiruma
- Apply a pressure bandage in the same way as for a snake bite. This can significantly delay the onset of symptoms and is a critical part of treatment. The bite can be treated with antivenom made for the Sydney funnel-web spider.1
- Naaza ekifo ekirumiddwa era okinyogoze. Funa obuyambi bw'abasawo singa obulumi bungi oba omuntu awulira bubi.
- Mu Awusitureeliya, okulumwa kwonna okwa nnabbubi ennene enzirugavu kujjanjabe ng'okwa funnel-web: Okunyiga n'okunyweza ekitundu (pressure immobilisation): zinga bandeeji egolomoka ennywevu ku kifo ekirumiddwa, oluvannyuma ogende waggulu ku kitundu kyonna (omukono oba okugulu), kinyweze n'omuti (splint), era omuntu muleke ateetambulira ddala okutuusa obuyambi lwe butuuka.
Bulijjo sooka kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911). Buno bulagirizi bwa bujjanjabi obusooka obwa bulijjo, si kuwabula kwa musawo. Obujjanjabi obusooka obw'omusingi
Weekuume
- Tokwatako, tokwata wadde okusoomooza ensolo ey'omu nsiko, ne bw'eba ntono, era ne bw'eba erabika nga yeebase oba nga efudde.
- Gireke n'ebbanga. Bw'osisinkana emu, beera mukkakkamu, dda emabega mpola era gireke egende mu kkubo lyayo.
- Bw'emu ekuluma: beera mukkakkamu, totambula, kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911) oba tuuka mu ddwaliro mangu. Jjukira bwe yali efaanana, ekifaananyi kiyamba.
Tekikunoonya. Kikozesa obusagwa bwakyo okukwata emmere oba okwekuuma, era kyandisinze kwekweka. Ebirala ku kwekuuma
