Small forest scorpion
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

毒液之力
毒液通过蜇刺出来。
它的毒液会造成什么?
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
它对人有多危险?
对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼,但几乎从不严重。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
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
