Small forest scorpion

Tityus silvestris
只是會痛會痛，但不會對你造成嚴重傷害。
蠍子 螫吃：昆蟲
對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛，但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。

Tityus silvestris is a small forest scorpion that lives only in northern South America. It is one of the smallest scorpions in its family, the Buthidae. Although it was once thought to be harmless, a sting has caused serious symptoms in at least one person, so it matters to doctors.1

怎麼認出牠

  • Small, growing to between 25 and 45 mm (2.5 to 4.5 cm) long.1
  • Yellowish body with several dark spots.1
  • Tail and telson (the bulb at the end of the tail that holds the venom) are darker than the body.1
  • Males and females look different (this is called sexual dysmorphism).1

毒液力量

螫

毒液從螫針出來。

牠的毒液有什麼作用？

In one recorded case, a sting first caused pain and tingling or numbness (paraesthesia). Within about two hours, the person had difficulty breathing, a fast heartbeat, high blood pressure and muscle spasms, and the condition became more serious.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。

It was once believed not to cause serious accidents. However, a 39-year-old man stung by this species needed hospital care, and his symptoms got worse before he was discharged seven days later. It is therefore considered to be of medical importance.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
