Blue Mountains funnel-web spider
The Blue Mountains funnel-web spider is a venomous spider found in eastern Australia. It lives in the Blue Mountains and the Illawarra District of New South Wales. Its bite can cause serious symptoms, so it is important to know what it looks like and what to do after a bite.1

Amandla obuthi
Ubuthi buphuma ngamazinyo aso obuthi noma ngamazinyo uma siluma.
Ubuthi baso benzani?
Its venom contains versutoxin, a neurotoxin (a poison that attacks the nerves) that is very similar to robustoxin from the Sydney funnel-web spider. It causes an autonomic storm, a disruption of the body's automatic systems. Symptoms can start within 15 to 20 minutes and include sweating, local pain at the bite site, fluid in the lungs (pulmonary oedema), high blood pressure, nausea and vomiting.1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: Kuyingozi kakhuluSingabulala umuntu ongatholi kwelashwa.One in nine recorded bites by this spider has caused severe symptoms. Females are thought to be more venomous than males, possibly because they inject more venom.1
Izindaba ezinhle: odokotela banomuthi (i-antivenom) noma indlela yokwelapha lokhu.1
Uma siluma
- Apply a pressure bandage in the same way as for a snake bite. This can significantly delay the onset of symptoms and is a critical part of treatment. The bite can be treated with antivenom made for the Sydney funnel-web spider.1
- Geza inxeba lokulunywa bese ulipholisa. Thola usizo lwezokwelapha uma ubuhlungu bunamandla noma umuntu ezizwa engaphilile.
- E-Australia, noma yikuphi ukulunywa isicabucabu esikhulu esimnyama kuphathe njengokulunywa yi-funnel-web: Ukubopha ngokucindezela nokuvimba ukunyakaza (pressure immobilisation): bopha ibhandeshi elinwebekayo eliqinile phezu kwenxeba bese ukhuphuka nesitho sonke, usiqinise nge-splint, futhi ugcine umuntu engashukumi nhlobo kuze kufike usizo.
Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala
Hlala uphephile
- Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
- Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
- Uma sikuluma: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.
Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile
