毒液力量

咬

咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。

牠的毒液有什麼作用?

This snake is venomous, meaning it injects venom with a bite. In humans, its bite causes local pain and swelling at the bite site. It also causes pain and swelling in the lymph nodes, the small glands that help fight infection.1

牠對人有多危險?

對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛,但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。

No human deaths from this snake have been recorded.1

牠害怕時會做什麼?

When threatened, it inflates and flattens its body to make the bright crossbands more visible. It may also raise the front half of its body and move it sharply from side to side.1

如果牠咬人

  • 讓傷者保持不動和冷靜,取下戒指和緊身的東西,並趕快送醫院:抗毒血清就是治療方法。

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。
  • 如果被牠咬了: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
