毒液之力

咬伤

它咬的时候，毒液通过毒牙或牙齿出来。

它的毒液会造成什么？

Its venom may cause intense pain, although this is judged from the experience of keepers bitten by other spiders in the genus. A bite may cause a rise in heart rate, followed by sweating, headache, stinging, cramping or swelling. These effects can last for up to a week.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 严重被咬了要去看医生。死亡非常罕见。

No human death from its bite has ever been recorded. Its bite is still considered medically significant. Most bites are dry bites, where no venom is injected. It can move quickly and may defend itself when cornered.1

它害怕时会做什么？

It is skittish and will try to flee first. It also flees from light, as it is sensitive to it. If provoked, it may bite.1

如果它咬人

  • 清洗咬伤处并冷敷。如果疼得厉害或感到不适，就去看医生。

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。
  • 如果被它咬了：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
