Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its venom contains a strong neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves and causes neuromuscular dysfunction, meaning the nerves and muscles stop working properly. The average venom yield is 8 mg, and the maximum recorded yield is 20 mg. The lethal dose for an adult human is estimated at 4 to 6 mg.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: Hatari sanaAnaweza kumuua mtu asiyepata matibabu.

It is highly venomous. The maximum recorded venom yield is about four times the estimated lethal dose for an adult human. It is usually not aggressive and bites mainly when it is molested or restrained.1

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

It is usually not aggressive, but it will bite when it is molested or restrained.1

Akiuma

  • Mweke mtu bila kutikisika na mtulivu na umpeleke hospitali haraka, hata kama jeraha linaonekana dogo: dalili zinaweza kuanza saa kadhaa baadaye.

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
