The Papuan black snake is a large, highly venomous snake that lives in southern New Guinea and nearby islands. It is mostly black with blue-grey underparts. Its venom attacks the nerves, so a bite needs urgent medical care.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its venom is the most potent of all black snakes in the genus Pseudechis. Unlike other black snakes, it is mainly neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves. Muscle weakness and paralysis can develop within 2 to 21 hours of a bite, and this can be life-threatening.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: Hatari sanaAnaweza kumuua mtu asiyepata matibabu.

It is widely feared in Papua New Guinea's Central Province, but it causes only a small minority of snakebites there. The more dangerous taipan causes far more.1

Habari njema: madaktari wana dawa (ya kuzuia sumu) au matibabu ya hili.1

Akiuma

  • Get to a hospital quickly, because delaying treatment can be dangerous. The venom can be treated with CSL black snake antivenom, and intubation (a breathing tube) may be needed if breathing is affected.1
  • Kubana na kutotikisa: funga bandeji nyororo kwa nguvu juu ya jeraha kisha mguu au mkono mzima, weka banzi, na umweke mtu bila kutikisika kabisa hadi msaada ufike.
  • Usioshe mahali alipoumwa: hospitali inaweza kupima sumu iliyobaki kwenye ngozi ili kuchagua dawa sahihi ya kuzuia sumu.

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

The Mekeo people call it auguma, meaning "to bite again", because it often bites repeatedly.1

2

The Kiwai people believe it is sent by a magic-man to kill enemies, and bitten people sometimes seek a magic-man instead of going to hospital.1

3

Some local people in New Guinea believe it and the taipan are opposite sexes of the same species.1

4

The first documented survivor of a bite was a young man treated in New Guinea in 1959, using antivenom made from its venom.1

5

Its venom was first extracted for science by Australian herpetologist Ken Slater in the mid-1950s, and sent to Melbourne for antivenom research.1

6

Its range has shrunk because of habitat destruction, killing by locals and poisoning by the introduced cane toad.1

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Dhana potofu: It is the most dangerous snake in Papua New Guinea's Central Province.

Ukweli: It causes only a small minority of snakebites there, which the more dangerous taipan outnumbers.1
