毒液力量

螫

毒液從螫針出來。

牠的毒液有什麼作用？

Its venom contains excitatory neurotoxins, which overstimulate the nerves, and cardiotoxins, which damage the heart. Reported symptoms in people include severe local pain, swelling, heavy sweating, vomiting, numbness that spreads, muscle twitching, convulsions, drowsiness, hallucinations, fast breathing, a fast heartbeat and heavy drooling. Symptoms can come on quickly and become severe.1

牠對人有多危險？

對人的危險: 非常危險如果沒有治療，牠可能會害死一個人。

In Guyana, a 16-year-old boy died 16 hours after being stung. Over a 12-month period in Guyana, three people died: two children and a 30-year-old man. In Santarém, Pará, Brazil, a presumed sting by this species caused acute cerebellar dysfunction in 58 patients, with symptoms lasting up to two days. Two of these patients had intense rhabdomyolysis, a breakdown of muscle tissue, and acute kidney injury.1

如果牠螫人

  • 用冰敷袋冰敷螫傷處，讓傷者保持不動。趕快就醫，特別是小朋友：有些蠍子對小孩是致命的。

一定要先打緊急電話（112、000、911）。這是一般急救指引，不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識

注意安全

  • 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物，就算是很小的動物，就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
  • 給牠空間。如果遇到了，保持冷靜，慢慢往後退，讓牠自己離開。
  • 如果被牠螫了：保持冷靜，保持不動，打緊急電話（112、000、911）或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子，有照片會很有幫助。

牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己，而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識
