The venom is a powerful mixture of neurotoxins, which attack the nerves. Its named components include chlorotoxin, charybdotoxin, scyllatoxin and agitoxins. A sting is extraordinarily painful. There is also a high rate of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) after envenomation, and any sting carries a risk of anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

The deathstalker is one of the most dangerous scorpion species. Its venom has a low lethal dose, but a sting normally would not kill a healthy adult. Young children, elderly people and those who are infirm, such as people with heart conditions or allergies, are at much greater risk. If a sting proves deadly, the usual cause of death is pulmonary edema, which is fluid build-up in the lungs.1

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

Če piči

Envenomation is considered a medical emergency, even with treatment. Antivenom exists, but the venom is unusually resistant to treatment and typically needs large doses. Medical help should be sought urgently.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.

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

Dejstva

Its venom contains chlorotoxin, a peptide that has shown potential for treating human brain tumours.1

In preclinical animal trials, the paint could highlight clusters of as few as 200 cancer cells, while the lower limit for standard MRI was above 500,000.1

In 2015, clinical trials began on chlorotoxin with a fluorescent molecule attached, used as a brain tumour "paint" to mark cancer cells during surgery.1

There is some evidence that other venom components may help regulate insulin and could be used to treat diabetes.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: A deathstalker sting always kills.

Resnica: A sting normally would not kill a healthy adult, but young children, the elderly and people with certain health conditions are at much greater risk.1
