Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuluma

Ityhefu iphuma ngamazinyo aso etyhefu okanye ngamazinyo aso xa siluma.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

Its venom is cytotoxic, which means it damages cells, and it has haemolytic activity, which means it breaks down red blood cells. It may also contain neurotoxins, which attack the nerves. Early symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and headache. Within 24 hours, severe cases can progress to rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and acute kidney injury if fluid replacement and antivenom are not given. One strike delivers about 30 milligrams of venom.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Its bite can be fatal. It was once thought to be only moderately venomous to people, but it is now known to have caused severe envenomation. It is considered the nineteenth most venomous snake in the world.1

Iindaba ezimnandi: oogqirha banamayeza (i-antivenom) okanye unyango lwale nto.1

Ukuba siyaluma

  • Fluid replacement and black snake antivenom should be given as soon as possible, because serious kidney damage can occur within 24 hours. Black snake or tiger snake antivenom can be used.1
  • Ukubopha ngoxinzelelo nokunqanda ukushukuma (pressure immobilisation): songa ibhandeji eqinileyo enwebekayo phezu kwendawo elunyiweyo uze unyuke ngelungu lonke, uliqinise ngesiplinti, kwaye ugcine umntu engashukumi kwaphela de kufike uncedo.
  • Musa ukuhlamba indawo elunyiweyo: izibhedlele zinokuvavanya ityhefu eseleyo esikhumbeni ukuze zikhethe i-antivenom echanekileyo.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

  • Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
  • Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Ukuba siyakuluma: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile
