Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

The venom is injected by bite. In one documented bite, the victim had intense pain, pronounced swelling, discolouration and oozing of fluid from the puncture marks. A 5 mm haematoma (a swelling of blood under the skin) formed after 24 hours. Symptoms eased over three to four days, and healing was complete after two weeks, with no loss of function. Minimal local tissue damage and no whole-body effects were reported.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.

One bite is documented, recorded by a researcher. It caused pain and swelling but healed fully in about two weeks.1

Akiuma

  • Mweke mtu bila kutikisika na mtulivu, weka kiungo kilichoumwa usawa wa moyo, ondoa pete na vitu vinavyobana, na umpeleke hospitali haraka.

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

1

It is possibly the smallest viper in the world.1

2

Its population faces unusually high annual mortality, between 39% and 56%, because of its small size and the many predators in its environment.1

3

To cope with this losses, it is thought to breed once every year. Most vipers breed every other year or less often.1

4

It lives in a comparatively narrow strip of coastal dunes, where temperatures change little between seasons.1
