牠吃什麼？
It eats insects, spiders, lizards, small mammals such as mice, and even other scorpions. It catches prey with its pincers, crushes it, and stings it to inject venom, which paralyses the prey. It can also go for months without food.1

毒液力量

毒液從螫針出來。

牠的毒液有什麼作用？

This scorpion uses neurotoxic venom, which is fast acting and is absorbed quickly. Neurotoxins affect the central nervous system and can paralyse the nerves that control breathing, which can lead to death from respiratory failure. Symptoms can include pain, sweating, drooling, tearing, drowsiness, drooping eyelids, loss of muscle coordination, neck muscle paralysis, abdominal pain and increasing weakness.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。

Severe envenoming is likely, with an envenoming rate of 10 to 20 percent, making the sting potentially lethal. Death can occur between 5 and 15 hours after envenoming, and it is also possible for death to happen within one hour.1

好消息：醫生有藥（抗毒血清）或治療方法。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

小知識

1

The genus name Androctonus is often translated as "man-killer", which shows how seriously this scorpion has been regarded.1

2

Its venom is absorbed very quickly because the proteins in it have a small molecular weight.1

3

It needs warmth to grow well, and is most efficient when temperatures are between 29 °C and 35 °C.1

4

It keeps itself in shade to avoid losing moisture from its body, since it is easily affected by dryness.1
