Nguvu ya sumu

Kuumwa

Sumu hutoka kupitia meno yake ya sumu au meno anapouma.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its venom can cause bleeding, coagulopathy (problems with blood clotting), neurotoxicity (damage to the nerves) and hypotension (low blood pressure). Many rattlesnakes cause some of these effects, but this species is unusual because its venom causes both bleeding and nerve damage. Most species do not cause both.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

Its venom can cause both bleeding and nerve damage, which most rattlesnake species do not do.1

Its rattle is unusual, making a fine vibrating noise rather than the long, drawn-out sound of many related species.1

Its red and gold scale colours may be due to the sandy soil of its habitat.1

It has an estimated lifespan of 15 to 20 years.1

Birds are common predators of this species.1
