Paano ito makikilala

  • Rows of small bumps, each topped with a cluster of easily detached spines of different sizes1

Lakas ng kamandag

Nanunusok na balahibo

Maliliit na balahibo o buhok ang nababali sa balat at nanunusok.

Ano ang epekto ng kamandag nito?

The venom is held in sacs at the base of each spine and flows through the hollow spines into the wound. It causes disseminated intravascular coagulation, which stops the blood from clotting and leads to bleeding into the tissues and internal organs. After an initial phase of headache, fever, vomiting and malaise, a severe bleeding disorder can develop after about 24 hours.1

Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?

Panganib sa tao: NapakapanganibKaya nitong pumatay ng taong hindi nagamot.

The caterpillar has been responsible for at least 500 deaths. In Brazil, 42,264 accidents were recorded between 2007 and 2017, of which 248 were severe and five were fatal. The reported death rate is 2.5%. Most victims were male (63%), and 45% were between 0 and 21 years old.1

Magandang balita: may gamot (antivenom) o gamutan ang mga doktor para dito.1

Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?

Its body is covered in hairs and spines that break off easily and inject venom into anything that touches them.1

Kung mahawakan mo ang mga balahibo nito

  • A study by Dr Robert Norris states that stings and abrasions should be treated with antifibrinolytics. If blood products are needed, they must be given with care so they do not worsen the bleeding. An antiserum made by the Butantan Institute in São Paulo reverses the clotting problems, and patients treated with it recover quickly.1
  • Para sa nanunusok na balahibo ng higad: alisin ang mga ito gamit ang sticky tape, pagkatapos ay hugasan ang balat. Huwag kuskusin.
  • Para sa kagat: hugasan at palamigin. Kumuha ng tulong medikal kung masama ang pakiramdam ng tao o madali siyang dumugo.

Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas

Mag-ingat

  • Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
  • Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
  • Kung mahawakan mo ang mga balahibo nito: manatiling kalmado, huwag gumalaw, tawagan ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911) o pumunta agad sa ospital. Tandaan ang itsura nito, makakatulong ang litrato.

Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ginagamit nito ang kamandag para manghuli ng pagkain o ipagtanggol ang sarili, at mas gusto pa nitong magtago. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat
