Ukuluma

Ityhefu iphuma ngamazinyo aso etyhefu okanye ngamazinyo aso xa siluma.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

This snake is highly venomous. Its venom causes pain, swelling, bruising and necrosis (death of body tissue), and it can also lead to abscesses. The venom disturbs blood clotting: the venom has thrombin-like proteases, which slow the clotting of fibrinogen, a protein needed to form clots. Bites can also cause high blood pressure and collapse.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

This species is one of the main causes of snakebite in Argentina. Between 1960 and 1975, about 500 cases were reported there each year, and 80% of them were attributed to one subspecies, B. n. diporus. In a study of 18 bite cases admitted to a hospital in São Paulo from 1975 to 1992, all patients had pain, 83% had swelling, 50% had bruising, 17% had necrosis and 12% developed coagulopathy (a clotting disorder).1

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

Ukuba siyaluma

  • Three antivenins made by the Instituto Butantan in Brazil can be used to treat bites from this species. Treatment with heparin might help the clotting problems caused by the venom.1
  • 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
