The Arizona bark scorpion is a small, light brown scorpion. It lives in the Sonoran Desert of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. It is the most venomous scorpion in the United States, so it is important to know what it looks like and what to do after a sting.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Kudungwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia mdungo.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

The venom causes severe pain in adults, along with numbness, tingling and vomiting. These symptoms typically last between 24 and 72 hours. The stung area may stop working for a time, so a hand or arm can be temporarily immobilised or have convulsions. Some victims also feel short breaths and electrical jolts.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: MbayaKudungwa kunahitaji daktari. Vifo ni nadra sana.

Two deaths have been recorded in Arizona since 1968. Thousands of people are estimated to be stung each year in Arizona and New Mexico. Young children are at particular risk of severe symptoms.1

Habari njema: madaktari wana dawa (ya kuzuia sumu) au matibabu ya hili.1

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

It will not seek out humans unless it is provoked or defending its young.1

Akidunga

Clean the sting site with soap and water, then apply a cool compress. You can take acetaminophen (paracetamol) or ibuprofen for pain and swelling. Get medical attention straight away if severe symptoms occur, especially in young children.1
Poza mahali palipodungwa kwa barafu na umweke mtu bila kutikisika. Tafuta msaada wa kitabibu haraka, hasa kwa watoto: baadhi ya nge ni hatari ya kifo kwa watoto.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
Akikudunga: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

Scorpions, including this species, were found near ground zero during American nuclear tests, with no recorded harmful effects.1

Its venom has little effect on grasshopper mice, which scientists found use the toxin as a pain reducer rather than a pain trigger.1

It is the only scorpion genus in the Southwest that can climb rough walls and trees.1

Layers of wax on its outer shell help it resist water loss in the desert.1

Newly moulted scorpions do not glow under UV light for a few days.1

Young scorpions are gently guided onto their mother's back, where they stay after birth.1

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Dhana potofu: Scorpions go looking for people to sting them.

Ukweli: They will not seek out humans unless they are provoked or defending their young. Many stings happen when people touch a scorpion on the underside of an object, where it is hiding.1
