Coral snakes cause about 1% of accidents in Central and South America. The venom is highly potent. In laboratory milking, the average yield was 10 to 12 mg, about twice the estimated lethal dose of 6 to 8 mg for an adult human.1

Ukuba siyaluma

  • Gcina umntu engashukumi kwaye ezolile uze umse esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza, nokuba indawo elunyiweyo ibonakala incinci: iimpawu zinokuqala kwiiyure ezininzi kamva.

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

The largest venom yield recorded in the laboratory was 65 mg, enough to kill 5 to 6 people.1

2

Some of its toxins act before the nerve signal reaches the muscle. They make nerves release too much acetylcholine, a chemical messenger, and then block the signal to the muscle.1

3

Its venom contains many toxin families, including phospholipase A2 and three-finger toxins.1

4

Adult females can lay up to 15 eggs.1
