Jinsi ya kumtambua

  • Its body is covered in long, heavily keeled scales (scales with a raised ridge), which make it look shaggy and bristly.1
  • The scales around the head and neck are the longest, and they get shorter towards the tail.1
  • It has a short snout, more so in males than in females.1
  • Males are surprisingly long and slender compared with females.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its venom is mainly neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves. It also contains cytotoxins, which damage cells, and fasciculins, which affect nerve signals. The strength of the venom varies between individual snakes and can be influenced by region, weather and altitude. Reports of bites show severe bleeding of internal organs.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: MbayaKuumwa kunahitaji daktari. Vifo ni nadra sana.

A bite can be fatal to people who do not get proper first aid and antivenom treatment. Its venom was once thought to be weaker than that of many other snakes, possibly because bites are uncommon, but recent reports show this is not the case.1

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

Akiuma

  • A bite needs proper first aid, followed by antivenom treatment. Without these, a bite can be fatal.1
  • 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
