Moč strupa

Piki

Strup pride ven skozi želo.

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

The venom contains about 80 types of toxins. Six are Bactridines, which block sodium channels in the nervous system. Ten are considered dangerous to humans, because their low molecular weight lets them travel quickly through the bloodstream to the heart, lungs and pancreas. The sting can cause sweating, breathlessness, excessive salivation, cramps, fever and vomiting.1

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
