Akidunga
- Kwangua mwiba wa nyuki na upoze mahali hapo.
- Mtu akipata shida ya kupumua, uso au koo likivimba, au akijisikia kuzimia, hiyo ni dharura ya mzio: piga namba ya dharura na umtumie kalamu yake ya adrenalini kama anayo.
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.
- Akikudunga: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.
