Ukuluma

Ubuthi buphuma ngamazinyo aso obuthi noma ngamazinyo uma siluma.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

Lace monitors have venom glands, and their venom is similar to snake venom, but it is not strong enough to cause serious harm. A bite on the hand can cause swelling within minutes, localised disruption of blood clotting (the blood clots less well in that area), and shooting pain up to the elbow. This pain can often last for several hours.1

Its venom is not enough to cause serious harm. Scientists have cautioned that calling these lizards venomous overestimates the medical risk to bite victims.1

When disturbed, lace monitors retreat to a nearby tree.1

Uma siluma

  • Geza inxeba, gcina umuntu ezolile bese uthola usizo lwezokwelapha.

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
