The eastern diamondback rattlesnake is a pit viper that lives in the southeastern United States. It is the largest rattlesnake species and one of the heaviest venomous snakes in the Americas. Its diamond-patterned back and loud rattle make it easy to recognise, and it is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous venomous snakes in North America.1

टोकाइ

टोक्दा यसको विषदन्त वा दाँतबाट विष निस्कन्छ।

टोक्दा वा डस्दा यसको विषले के गर्छ?

Its venom contains more than 100 different toxins, and about 40 have been identified, making it one of the most studied snake venoms. The venom contains a thrombin-like enzyme called crotalase, which clots fibrinogen, a protein needed for blood clotting. The estimated human lethal dose is 100 to 150 mg.1

It has a reputation as the most dangerous venomous snake in North America. It is not usually aggressive, but it is large and powerful. Reported mortality from untreated bites is 10 to 20% in some studies and 30% in another, and it is a major cause of fatal snakebites within its range.1

डराउँदा यसले के गर्छ?

When threatened, it raises the front half of its body in an S-shaped coil, rattles loudly, and can strike to at least a third of its body length.1

यसले टोक्यो भने

  • व्यक्तिलाई स्थिर र शान्त राख, टोकिएको हात वा खुट्टा मुटुको उचाइमा राख, औँठी र कसिला चीजहरू खोल, र छिटो अस्पताल पुर्‍याऊ।

सधैँ पहिले आफ्नो आपतकालीन नम्बरमा फोन गर (112, 000, 911)। यो सामान्य प्राथमिक उपचार मार्गदर्शन हो, चिकित्सकीय सल्लाह होइन। प्राथमिक उपचारका आधारभूत कुरा

सुरक्षित रहू

  • जंगली जनावरलाई कहिल्यै नछोऊ, नसमात वा नजिस्काऊ, सानो भए पनि, र सुतेको वा मरेको जस्तो देखिए पनि।
  • यसलाई ठाउँ देऊ। कुनै भेट्यौ भने शान्त रहू, बिस्तारै पछाडि हट र त्यसलाई आफ्नै बाटो जान देऊ।
  • कुनैले तिमीलाई टोक्यो भने: शान्त रहू, नचलीकन बस, आफ्नो आपतकालीन नम्बरमा (112, 000, 911) फोन गर वा छिटो अस्पताल पुग। त्यो कस्तो देखिन्थ्यो सम्झ, फोटोले मद्दत गर्छ।
