Jinsi ya kumtambua

  • Medium-sized with a slender body, reaching up to 1.8 metres in total length.1
  • Red head, red tail and red belly.1
  • Back is dark blue or black.1
  • Usually has a large blue or white stripe on each side of the body.1

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: The pink-headed reed snake (Calamaria schlegeli) is often confused with it, especially when young, because they share habitat and appearance. The reed snake is much smaller, at most 50 cm, and is not venomous. The red-headed krait (Bungarus flaviceps) is also very similar.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its venom contains a neurotoxin, which is a venom that attacks the nerves. Calliotoxin causes almost instant paralysis in prey by stopping the prey's sodium channels from switching off properly. This effect has not been seen in humans. The venom also contains phosphodiesterases, which release adenosine and can lower blood pressure and cause inflammation in prey and in bite victims.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: Hatari sanaAnaweza kumuua mtu asiyepata matibabu.

Its venom has only occasionally caused human deaths, but it is potentially lethal. In people, local effects of a bite usually clear up without complications, and serious whole-body effects are rare.1

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

When threatened it usually flees, but it may stay still and hold its red tail upright as a warning.1

Akiuma

  • Mweke mtu bila kutikisika na mtulivu, ondoa pete na vitu vinavyobana, na umpeleke hospitali haraka: dawa ya kuzuia sumu ndiyo tiba.

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.
  • Akikuuma: 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
