Imbaraga z'ubumara

Iraruma

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

Ubumara bwayo bukora iki?

The venom contains a neurotoxic phospholipase A2, a protein that attacks the nerves. It acts as a presynaptic toxin, meaning it interferes with nerve signals at the junction between nerve and muscle. Bite symptoms in people include swelling, severe pain, nausea, vomiting and shock. Blisters and necrotic ulcers (areas of dead tissue) may form around the bite.1

Iteje akaga kangana iki ku bantu?

Bites are thought to be rare, and no epidemiological data (records of bites and outcomes over time) is available. Tests on mice suggest the venom is one of the weakest in its genus, but an older report states it is highly toxic and that a number of deaths have occurred.1

Inkuru nziza: abaganga bafite umuti (umuti urwanya ubumara, antivenom) cyangwa uburyo bwo kuvura ibi.1

Niba iruma

  • Umuntu agume atanyeganyega kandi atuje, urugingo rwarumwe rugume ku rwego rumwe n'umutima, mukuremo impeta n'ibindi bintu bifashe cyane, kandi mujye ku bitaro vuba.

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
