Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its venom contains a postsynaptic neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves, and a cytotoxin, which destroys cells. Its bite causes severe destruction of the tissue around the wound. Venom that gets into the eyes can cause impaired vision or blindness. Its venom is about as toxic as that of the Mojave rattlesnake.1

It is considered one of the most dangerous snakes in Africa. Only a few people have died from its bites, but survivors are mostly left disfigured.1

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

When confronted at close range, it rears up, spreads its hood and spits, usually from a raised position. It may also bite, or feign death to avoid further disturbance.1

Akiuma au kutema

Mweke mtu bila kutikisika na mtulivu, ondoa pete na vitu vinavyobana, na umpeleke hospitali haraka: dawa ya kuzuia sumu ndiyo tiba.
Sumu ikitemewa machoni, yasafishe mara moja kwa maji mengi safi.

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 au akikutemea sumu machoni: 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
