Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuluma

Ityhefu iphuma ngamazinyo aso etyhefu okanye ngamazinyo aso xa siluma.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

The venom contains a neurotoxic phospholipase A2, a protein that attacks the nerves. It acts as a presynaptic toxin, meaning it interferes with nerve signals at the junction between nerve and muscle. Bite symptoms in people include swelling, severe pain, nausea, vomiting and shock. Blisters and necrotic ulcers (areas of dead tissue) may form around the bite.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: Kubi kakhuluUkulunywa kufuna ugqirha. Ukufa kunqabe kakhulu.

Bites are thought to be rare, and no epidemiological data (records of bites and outcomes over time) is available. Tests on mice suggest the venom is one of the weakest in its genus, but an older report states it is highly toxic and that a number of deaths have occurred.1

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

Ukuba siyaluma

  • Gcina umntu engashukumi kwaye ezolile, gcina ilungu elilunyiweyo kwinqanaba lentliziyo, susa imisesane nezinto eziqinileyo, uze umse esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza.

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

Iinyaniso

1

Researchers estimated that about 300 mg of its venom would be needed to kill an adult, based on mouse tests.1

2

Caudoxin is similar to bungarotoxin, a well-known snake toxin, but binds to different sites in the body.1

3

On average, one bite releases about 85 mg of wet venom.1
