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 is a strong neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves. It acts both before and after the nerve connects to the muscle, and it causes a strong, permanent block of nerve signals to the muscles in vertebrates. A muscle-damaging toxin called lemnitoxin has also been isolated from the venom.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。

It is not aggressive towards people, but it can bite to defend itself. The estimated lethal dose for an adult human is 5 to 7 mg of venom (dry weight). In laboratory milking, the average venom yield was 8 to 10 mg and the largest was 27 mg.1

它害怕时会做什么？

It is not aggressive, but it can attack to defend itself when threatened.1

如果它咬人

  • 让人保持安静不动，尽快送医院，即使咬伤看起来很小：症状可能几小时后才出现。

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

事实

The venom of this snake is strong enough to cause paralysis, because it blocks nerve signals to the muscles.1

2

It is one of the few snakes whose diet includes freshwater eels and gymnotiform fishes.1

3

It is nocturnal and digs in loose soil or leaf litter, so it spends much of its time hidden underground.1

4

It can live in disturbed land and near human homes, not only in deep forest.1

谣言粉碎机

谣言： Coral snakes are aggressive and will attack people.
