Its venom is thick and syrupy, and contains potent neurotoxins that act on the nerves, and possibly cardiotoxins that affect the heart. The venom can affect the respiratory system, nervous system and heart. When death occurs, it normally takes one to ten hours, or more, and is often caused by respiratory failure due to paralysis.1

It is regarded as one of the most dangerous cobras in Africa because of its potent venom and its frequent presence around houses. The mortality rate for untreated bites is not exactly known, but is thought to be high, around 50%. Outcomes depend on factors such as the amount of venom injected and the bitten person's state of mind.1

Dobra novica: zdravniki imajo za to zdravilo (protistrup) ali zdravljenje.1

Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?

When threatened, it raises its forebody, spreads a broad hood, may hiss loudly and strikes readily.1

Če ugrizne

Mechanical ventilation (a machine that helps the person breathe) and symptom management are often enough to save a life. Serious cases need antivenom, which is a polyvalent antivenom produced by the South African Institute of Medical Research.1
Poškodovanca drži pri miru in ga pomirjaj, odstrani prstane in tesne stvari ter ga hitro odpelji v bolnišnico: zdravljenje je protistrup.

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 ugrizne: 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
