False katipo
咬The false katipo is a small, shiny black spider from South Africa. It has spread to Australia and New Zealand, where it often lives on or in buildings. Its bite is painful, but it is not considered severe.1

怎麼認出牠
- Small, usually all-over shiny black1
- May have a small bright red, orange or yellow patch near the tip of the abdomen1
- May have a crescent-shaped band near the front of the abdomen1
常被誤認為: It is often compared to the katipō spider, a native New Zealand spider it is named after. In New Zealand, both spiders live in the same sand dunes.1
毒液力量
咬的時候,毒液會從毒牙或牙齒出來。
牠的毒液有什麼作用?
Bites can cause steatodism, a less severe form of latrodectism (a type of spider bite reaction). Effects typically include localised pain and redness around the bite. Nausea and headaches may also occur.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。The bite is painful when the spider feels threatened, but it is not severe. Bites are mostly inflicted by females, but males can also bite.1
好消息:醫生有藥(抗毒血清)或治療方法。1
牠害怕時會做什麼?
It bites when threatened.1
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
