Thai zebra tarantula
The Thai zebra tarantula is a large, burrowing spider with bold white stripes on a black body. It lives in Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia, and it matters because its venom is being studied as a possible way to treat long-term pain.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?
The venom of this tarantula is reported to be more potent than that of many other tarantula species. A study found that its venom can regulate voltage-gated sodium channels, which control nerve signals. These channels are promising targets for treating chronic pain, so the venom may have potential as a pain-relieving treatment.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。This spider is very skittish and defensive, and it can be very aggressive. Its only defences are biting and fleeing.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
