Imbaraga z'ubumara

Iraruma

Ubumara busohokera mu menyo yayo y'ubumara cyangwa mu yandi menyo iyo iriye.

Ubumara bwayo bukora iki?

Its venom contains a peptide called SPC13 that kills or slows some bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In studies on mice, the venom damaged muscle, causing tissue death and abnormal mitochondria (the parts of cells that make energy). It may also affect the respiratory complexes, the chemical systems cells use to make energy, of the animals it hunts.1

Ikora iki iyo ifite ubwoba?

Its venom is used to defend itself, but it cannot fully rebuild its venom within 48 hours, which limits how well it can defend itself.1

Niba iruma

  • Oza aho yarumye, uhakonjeshe cyangwa uhinjize mu mazi y'akazuyazi kubera ububabare, kandi ushake ubufasha bwa muganga niba bikomeje kuba bibi.

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.
  • Niba imwe ikurumye: tuza, ntunyeganyege, hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911) cyangwa ujye ku bitaro vuba. Ibuka uko yasaga, ifoto irafasha.

Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Ikoresha ubumara bwayo kugira ngo ifate ibyo kurya cyangwa yirinde, kandi ikunda cyane kwihisha. Ibindi ku kwirinda

Ibintu by'ukuri

1

Its venom contains a peptide that has shown antimicrobial activity against bacteria that cause hospital infections.1

2

Within two days it regenerates 65 to 86% of its venom volume, but its venom levels do not return to their original amounts even after 7 months.1

3

The bigger the centipede, the slower its venom regenerates, so body size limits how quickly it can recover its venom.1

4

Its colours are so varied that its species name, polymorpha, means "many forms".1

5

It is most active at night during the cool winter months, or during the summer New Mexico Monsoon, when it is cooler and wetter.1
