Chilean six-eyed sand spider
The Chilean six-eyed sand spider is a small spider that lives in the deserts of northern and central Chile. It hides under rocks and comes out at night. Its venom has effects similar to those of the Chilean recluse spider, which is why it matters to people who live nearby.1

Its venom contains an enzyme called sphingomyelinase D, which has effects similar to those of the Chilean recluse spider. In laboratory tests the venom broke down red blood cells (haemolysis) and damaged skin cells, and 50 μg was enough to cause dermonecrosis, or the death of skin tissue. The venom also broke down fibrinogen, a protein needed for blood to clot.1
Ndi yoopsa bwanji kwa anthu?
Ngozi kwa anthu: YopwetekaIngathe kupweteka kwambiri, koma pafupifupi nthawi zonse si vuto lalikulu.Laboratory work shows that the venom can damage human tissue. Adult spiders carry up to eight times the amount of venom tested, so bites from adults could cause more serious lesions.1
Ikaluma
- Sambitsa polumidwapo ndipo ikapo paketi ya ayezi kuti uchepetse kupweteka. Peza thandizo la dokotala ngati kupweteka kuli kwakukulu, kukufalikira kapena munthuyo sakumva bwino.

Khala wotetezeka
- Usakhudze, kugwira kapena kuseweretsa nyama yakuthengo, ngakhale yaing'ono, ndipo ngakhale ikuoneka ngati yagona kapena yafa.
- Ipatse malo. Ukakumana nayo, khala chete, bwerera m'mbuyo pang'onopang'ono ndipo uilole ipite njira yake.
- Ikakuluma: khala chete, usasunthe, imbira nambala yadzidzidzi (112, 000, 911) kapena pita kuchipatala mwachangu. Kumbukira m'mene inkaonekera, chithunzi chimathandiza.
Sikufuna kukuvulaza. Imagwiritsa ntchito ululu wake kugwira chakudya kapena kudziteteza, ndipo imakonda kwambiri kubisala. Zambiri za kukhala wotetezeka

Mfundo
In 2020 a 20 mm spider was recorded preying on a 28 mm gecko, which is larger than the spider itself.1
Its venom breaks down fibrinogen, a clotting protein, faster than the venom of the Loxosceles species it was compared with.1
Scientists found that 50 μg of its venom was enough to cause dermonecrosis in laboratory tests.1
It is extremely common in Chilean cities where household waste is plentiful.1
Kuthetsa nthano zabodza
Nthano yabodza: The species is known as Sicarius terrosus.
Zoona: The correct name is Sicarius thomisoides. The name terrosus was used for this species for a long time, but it was often used wrongly for other species too.1
