Kuasa bisa

Gigitan

Bisa keluar melalui taring atau giginya apabila ia menggigit.

Apa kesan bisanya?

The venom is highly potent and contains several different neurotoxins, which attack the nerves, along with two other isotoxins. Sea snake venom can damage skeletal muscle, which may release myoglobin into the urine (myoglobinuria), and can cause neuromuscular paralysis or direct kidney damage. Juvenile venom is on average less concentrated than adult venom.1

Berapa bahaya ia kepada manusia?

Bahaya kepada manusia: SeriusGigitannya perlu dirawat doktor. Kematian sangat jarang berlaku.

Bites are rare. The most common victims are fishermen who try to remove the snakes from fishing nets. No deaths have been recorded from bites in Australian waters.1

Berita baik: doktor ada ubat (antibisa) atau rawatan untuk ini.1

Apa yang ia buat apabila takut?

It is not considered aggressive but will defend itself if threatened.1

Jika ia menggigit

  • The venom is neutralised with sea snake antivenom (Enhydrina schistosa). If that is not available, tiger snake or polyvalent antivenom should be used.1
  • Imobilisasi tekanan: balut tempat gigitan dengan pembalut elastik secara kukuh, kemudian teruskan ke atas sepanjang seluruh anggota, pasang bidai, dan pastikan orang itu langsung tidak bergerak sehingga bantuan tiba.
  • Bawa orang itu keluar dari air dan ke hospital dengan segera.

Sentiasa hubungi nombor kecemasan dahulu (112, 000, 911). Ini panduan pertolongan cemas umum, bukan nasihat perubatan. Asas pertolongan cemas

Kekal selamat

  • Jangan sesekali sentuh, tangkap atau usik haiwan liar, walaupun yang kecil, dan walaupun ia nampak tidur atau mati.
  • Beri ia ruang. Jika kamu terjumpa, bertenang, undur perlahan-lahan dan biarkan ia pergi.
  • Jika ia menggigit kamu: bertenang, jangan bergerak, hubungi nombor kecemasan (112, 000, 911) atau pergi ke hospital dengan segera. Ingat rupanya, gambar boleh membantu.

Ia bukan mahu memburu kamu. Ia guna bisanya untuk menangkap makanan atau melindungi diri, dan ia lebih suka bersembunyi. Lagi tentang keselamatan

Fakta

1

It can swim backwards, which is an unusual ability and a distinguishing feature of this species.1

2

It breathes partly through its skin, taking oxygen from seawater while diving and swimming at the surface.1

3

It can survive severe dehydration for up to 7 months during seasonal drought.1

4

Large groups of thousands have been seen floating together on the surface in oceanic drift lines.1

5

It is the only sea snake known to have reached the Hawaiian Islands.1

6

Strays wash up so often on New Zealand's coasts that it is considered native to the country and protected under the Wildlife Act 1953.1

Pemecah mitos

Mitos: Sea snakes drink seawater and filter out the salt through a special salt gland in the lower jaw.

Hakikat: Sea snakes drink only fresh water. The salt gland was once thought to filter salt, but it is not used for that purpose. The yellow-bellied sea snake likely drinks from freshwater lenses that form on the sea surface after heavy rain.1
