Moč strupa

Piki

Strup pride ven skozi želo.

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

It stings, and its stings inject venom. The Chumash people of California traditionally swallowed these ants alive, and the venom from their stings caused hallucinations, which was used in coming-of-age ceremonies for boys.1

Če piči

Pike umij in ohladi.
Če ima poškodovanec težave z dihanjem, otekel obraz ali grlo ali se mu vrti, kot da bo omedlel, gre za nujno stanje zaradi alergije: pokliči številko za klic v sili.

Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči

Ostani varen

Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
Če te piči: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

Around 250 of these ants were considered an effective dose by the Chumash people when they were used in traditional ceremonies.1

This ant is the species used by Uncle Milton's Ant Farm, a popular toy that lets people watch ants dig tunnels.1

Colonies with several queens have been found to have higher average heat tolerance and less variation in heat tolerance, which gives them longer foraging times.1

Most colonies are started and run by a single queen, but some nests have several queens working together, a situation called pleometrosis.1
