Desert death adders feed on lizards, especially skinks and dragons, and on small mammals. They use a lure at the tip of the tail, which wiggles to attract prey. They may lie in ambush for days, waiting for a lizard to approach.1

Če ugrizne

Imobilizacija s pritiskom: čvrsto ovij elastični povoj čez ugriz in nato navzgor po celem udu, ud imobiliziraj z opornico in poškodovanca drži popolnoma pri miru, dokler ne pride pomoč.
Ugriza ne umivaj: v bolnišnici lahko strup, ki je ostal na koži, preverijo in izberejo pravi 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
