The eastern massasauga is a small rattlesnake that lives in eastern North America, mainly around the Great Lakes. It is the only venomous snake in Ontario, Canada. It is shy and keeps away from people, but it is a protected species because its numbers have fallen sharply.1

Qaniin

Its venom is cytotoxic, which means it destroys tissue. It also contains digestive enzymes that disrupt blood flow and stop blood from clotting. In its prey, these effects cause severe internal bleeding.1

The snake is shy and avoids humans when it can. Most bites in Ontario happened after people handled it or accidentally stepped on it. Only two deaths from its bites have been recorded in Ontario, and in both cases the victims did not receive proper treatment.1

Muxuu sameeyaa marka uu baqo?

It is shy and tends to withdraw from people rather than confront them.1

Haddii uu qaniino

  • Qofka ka dhig mid aan dhaqaaqin oo deggan, xubinta la qaniinay ku hay heerka wadnaha, ka saar faraantiyada iyo waxyaabaha adag, si degdeg ahna u geey isbitaalka.

Marka hore had iyo jeer wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah (112, 000, 911). Kani waa hage guud oo gargaar degdeg ah, ma aha talo caafimaad. Aasaaska gargaarka degdegga ah

Badbaado

  • Weligaa ha taaban, ha qaban, hana ku ciyaarin xayawaan duurjoog ah, xitaa mid yar, xitaa haddii uu u muuqdo inuu hurdo ama dhintay.
  • Meel u bannee. Haddii aad mid la kulanto, deg, tartiib dib ugu noqo oo u daa inuu jidkiisa maro.
  • Haddii mid ku qaniino: deg, ha dhaqaaqin, wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah (112, 000, 911) ama si degdeg ah u tag isbitaalka. Xusuuso sida uu u egyahay, sawir ayaa caawiya.
