Dugite
The dugite is a highly venomous snake found in southern Western Australia and in remote coastal parts of western South Australia. Its venom is potentially one of the most lethal in the world, so it is a snake to treat with great respect. It is common in and around Perth, where it often shelters near buildings.1

Kā to atpazīt
- Coloured grey, green or brown, but the colours vary widely between individuals, so colour alone is not a reliable guide.1
- Black scales may be scattered over the body.1
- Relatively large scales with a semi-glossy look.1
- The head is rather small and not clearly separate from the neck.1
- Long and slender body, typically about 1.5 metres in total length.1

The venom has coagulopathic and procoagulant effects, meaning it disturbs the way blood clots. It is potentially one of the most lethal venoms in the world. In a 2011 case, a boy bitten by a dugite was temporarily paralysed, showing that the venom can affect the nerves and muscles as well as the blood.1

They generally avoid biting people, but the risk of encounters rises during the mating season in October and November. The last recorded human death attributed to a dugite was in August 2015 in South Fremantle. In 2011 a seven-year-old boy was bitten and temporarily paralysed, and he made a full recovery.1
Labas ziņas: ārstiem pret šo ir zāles (pretinde) vai ārstēšana.1
Ko tas dara, kad ir nobijies?
When disturbed they are very shy and often slither away, but they will defend themselves if cornered.1
Ja tas iekož
- Prompt medical attention is essential after a bite. In a December 2020 case, a three-year-old girl bitten by a snake believed to be a dugite was quickly immobilised by her grandmother, who wrapped her legs in pressure bandages. She was treated with antivenom in hospital and made a full recovery.1
- Spiedošā imobilizācija: aptin stingru elastīgo saiti ap koduma vietu un tad augšup pa visu ekstremitāti, fiksē to ar šinu un turi cilvēku pilnīgi nekustīgu, līdz ierodas palīdzība.
- Nemazgā kodumu: slimnīcā var pārbaudīt uz ādas palikušo indi, lai izvēlētos pareizo pretindi.

Esi drošībā
- Nekad neaiztiec, neķer un neķircini savvaļas dzīvnieku, pat mazu, un pat ja tas izskatās aizmidzis vai miris.
- Dod tam vietu. Ja tādu satiec, saglabā mieru, lēnām atkāpies un ļauj tam iet savu ceļu.
- Ja tāds tev iekož: saglabā mieru, nekusties, zvani uz savu ārkārtas numuru (112, 000, 911) vai ātri dodies uz slimnīcu. Atceries, kā tas izskatījās, foto palīdz.
Tas nav nolēmis tevi medīt. Tas izmanto indi, lai noķertu barību vai aizsargātos, un daudz labprātāk paslēptos. Vairāk par drošību
