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

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

Senzani uma sesabile?

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

Uma siluma

  • Gcina umuntu engashukumi futhi ezolile bese umusa esibhedlela ngokushesha, ngisho noma inxeba libukeka lincane: izimpawu zingaqala emahoreni amaningi kamuva.

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
