Amandla obuthi
Ubuthi buphuma ngamazinyo aso obuthi noma ngamazinyo uma siluma.
Ubuthi baso benzani?
The venom may be very toxic. Most recorded bites caused only minor effects.1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: Kubi kakhuluUkulunywa kudinga udokotela. Ukufa kuyivelakancane kakhulu.Few cases of serious envenomation have been recorded, so serious harm is uncommon. However, the venom may be very toxic.1
Izindaba ezinhle: odokotela banomuthi (i-antivenom) noma indlela yokwelapha lokhu.1
Uma siluma
- Australian funnel-web spider antivenom has proved effective as a treatment for bites from this 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
Sikhulu kangakanani?
Side kangakanani?
side cishe njengesibophi sephepha
singahamba amamitha ali-100 ngemizuzwana engu-300 (umuntu oshesha kunabo bonke udinga engu-9,6)Red-headed mouse spider mkhulu kangakanani uma uqhathanisa NAWE?
Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.
Sishesha kangakanani?
Amaqiniso
Its spiderlings can travel by wind, a method called ballooning. Mygalomorph spiders normally disperse by walking, so this is unusual for them.1
The spider digs a burrow up to 55 cm deep, with two trapdoors.1
Males have a bright red head and jaws, which sets them apart from the darker females.1
It is the most widely distributed Missulena species, found throughout mainland Australia.1
