它吃什么?
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

它的毒液会造成什么?

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

它对人有多危险?

对人的危险: 非常危险不治疗可能会害死人。

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:医生有药(抗毒血清)或治疗方法。1

如果它蜇人

  • 用冰袋冷敷蜇伤处,让人保持不动。尽快就医,尤其是儿童:有些蝎子对孩子是致命的。

一定先拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)。这里是一般急救指导,不是医疗建议。 急救基础

注意安全

  • 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物,即使是很小的,即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
  • 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
  • 如果被它蜇了:保持冷静,保持不动,拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样,拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识

事实

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
