Ikunze kwitiranywa na: The black widow is slightly larger and darker, and has a red hourglass on the underside. The brown widow is lighter, has an orange or yellow hourglass, and has a black and white pattern on top of the abdomen that the black widow does not have. In southern Africa, the brown widow's relative L. rhodesiensis, native to Zimbabwe, is also called a brown button spider.1

Ubumara bwayo bukora iki?

Like all widow spiders, the brown widow has a neurotoxic venom, which attacks the nerves. It causes latrodectism, a set of very unpleasant symptoms. The effects are usually confined to the bite area and the tissue around it.1

Iteje akaga kangana iki ku bantu?

Akaga ku bantu: IrababazaIshobora kubabaza cyane, ariko hafi ya buri gihe nta kibazo gikomeye biteza.

Brown widow bites are usually not very dangerous, and are much less dangerous than black widow bites. The spider cannot deliver as much venom as a black widow, so its bites are considered minor. They are painful.1

Niba iruma

  • Oza aho yarumye kandi uhashyire agapaki k'urubura kubera ububabare. Shaka ubufasha bwa muganga niba ububabare bukabije, bukwirakwira cyangwa umuntu yumva atameze neza.

Buri gihe banza uhamagare nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911). Izi ni inama rusange z'ubutabazi bw'ibanze, si inama za muganga. Ibanze by'ubutabazi bw'ibanze

Irinde akaga

  • Ntuzigere ukora, ufata cyangwa ushotora inyamaswa yo mu gasozi, nubwo yaba ntoya, kandi nubwo yasa n'isinziriye cyangwa yapfuye.
  • Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
