怎样认出它

  • Dark brown or black in colour1
  • Grows to 90–110 mm long1
  • Thin pincers and a thickened tail1
  • The sting segment is as wide as the rest of the tail1
  • Mostly active at night1

常被误认为: It resembles P. villosus, its close relative. P. villosus is hairier, is less strictly nocturnal and lives further west.1

毒液之力

蜇伤

毒液通过蜇刺出来。

它的毒液会造成什么?

Its venom contains kurtoxin, and a related toxin called parabutoxin has been isolated from it. Parabutoxin is a potassium channel inhibitor, which means it blocks channels that the body uses to control nerve and muscle signals. The first droplet of venom is different from the rest and is called "pre-venom".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。

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。
