Procrastination is like death
Karakurt or “black widows”, considered one of the most dangerous poisonous spiders this summer made a real invasion of Kazakhstan. They always appear in these places in the summer, but this year there are especially many of them.
Residents of Kazakhstan bitten by spiders enter hospitals almost every day, suffice it to say that in the regional about forty people are now in the Shimkent hospital, and doctors have to literally fight for the life of each patient. TO Fortunately, there are no fatalities yet.
“At first you feel pain, like a bite from a wasp or a bee,” says one of the victims is Oskenbek Sudeimanov, whose life is already in safety – but when you try to brush away an insect, you see – spider. Naturally, my relatives immediately called an ambulance. Already soon I was thrown into a fever and sweat, it became difficult to breathe, twisted joints, reduced belly. In general, it’s very hard, I thought that I already the kayuk has come …
As the doctors explain, a “kiss” of karakurt is more dangerous for a person, than a rattlesnake bite, with the spider venom acting practically instantly, after ten to fifteen minutes, a person feels terrible pain throughout the body, begins to suffocate, he is spinning the head, and the heart as if jumping out of the chest. If you do not enter bitten by a special serum, a fatal outcome is guaranteed to him, and pretty fast. Therefore any delay in calling medical care – like death.

As a rule, most often, spiders attack in the private sector, although even in the resort area of Kazakhstan this year recorded victims from bites of karakurt.
But sheep are not afraid of spiders
Villagers fleeing the Black Widow with help ordinary rams that quietly eat poisonous spiders, Not at all afraid of their poison. Therefore, karakurt are even afraid of smell sheep and pass around the place where their worst enemies are found. FROM for this purpose, for example, shepherds go to bed only on sheep’s skins – it is a guarantee that a dangerous spider will never climb onto the bed.
As a precaution, now in Kazakhstan it is better not to go to shorts, T-shirts and do not wear open shoes, such as slates, soap dishes, slap, flip flops, slippers. At least it’s not worth it do outdoors and in field work. It is also worth considering that spiders migrate north during high heat and may even appear where never heard of them …
