Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its venom is mild and is adapted to amphibian prey. It is delivered through enlarged rear teeth from the Duvernoy's gland. In people who are allergic to the snake's saliva, a bite can cause local swelling, burning, discolouration and bleeding from the wound.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: HafifuKama kudungwa na nyuki au chini ya hapo. Kimsingi hana madhara kwa watu.

The venom is harmless to most people, and no human deaths have been documented. People who are allergic to its saliva may have local symptoms such as swelling and bleeding.1

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

It flattens its neck, raises its head like a cobra, hisses and strikes with a closed mouth to bluff. If that fails, it rolls onto its back, plays dead, releases a foul musk and lets its tongue hang out.1

Akiuma

Osha jeraha, mweke mtu mtulivu na utafute msaada wa kitabibu. Baadhi ya spishi (kama boomslang) zinaweza kuua 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

Ukweli

One individual was seen playing dead for 45 minutes before moving away.1

It is resistant to the skin poisons of toads, probably because of its enlarged adrenal glands, which release large amounts of hormones to counter the toxins.1

When threatened, it often bluffs by striking with its mouth closed, and it does not try to bite.1

It is a rear-fanged snake, and its enlarged teeth are at the back of the upper jaw.1

Females can store sperm until spring, so they can be fertilised later.1

Dhana potofu: The eastern hognose snake is a dangerous, deadly snake.
