Tge fa ses tissi?

The snake has rear fangs and a venom gland linked to them. It has to chew to release the venom, which is released gradually. Its venom is weak, and the rear fangs are small, so it is hard for the snake to sink them into a person's arm or leg. Moderate bites have caused intense swelling.1

Quant privlus è el per umans?

Privel per umans: DolurusQuai po far propi mal, ma i n'è bunamain mai grav.

Sch'el morda

  • Lava la morsa, tegna la persuna quieta e tschertga agid medicinal. Tschertas spezias (sco il boomslang) pon esser mortalas pir uras pli tard.

Clama adina l'emprim tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911). Quai è in cussegl general d'emprim agid, betg in cussegl medicinal. Basa da l'emprim agid

Resta en segirezza

  • Na tutga, na piglia e na tizza mai in animal selvadi, gnanc in pitschen, ed era sch'el para da durmir u d'esser mort.
  • Dà spazi a l'animal. Sche ti scuntras in, resta calm, va plaun enavos e lascha ir el per sia via.
