Nguvu ya sumu
Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.
Sumu yake hufanya nini?
Its venom is dominated by three-finger toxins, which make up about 90% of the venom proteins. This is the highest three-finger toxin level recorded in any snake venom. The venom also contains snake venom metalloproteinases and phospholipases A2, which damage tissue. If venom gets in the eyes, it causes extreme pain and mechanical damage to the eyeball, and can cause permanent blindness if not properly flushed out.1
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: Hatari sanaAnaweza kumuua mtu asiyepata matibabu.It is described as highly venomous. Its bite and spitting venom are both dangerous, and its habit of living near people means it often comes into conflict with them.1
Hufanya nini akiogopa?
It is nervous and quick to strike, and it sprays venom at the face and eyes when threatened.1
Akiuma au kutema
- If venom gets in the eyes, it must be flushed out thoroughly with lots of clean water, as incomplete flushing can lead to permanent blindness. Any bite needs urgent hospital care.1
- 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.

- Akikuuma au akikutemea sumu machoni: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.
