Manal, Siam, a researcher at a research center, explained Objects Toxic College Sciences at university Khartoumthat "The increase in the density of scorpions is due to three reasons, which are climatic changes such as floods, autumn torrential rains, and the high temperature in summer. scorpions Always found in sandy mountainous areas. Also, the increase in the intensity of the random collection of scorpions contributes to their condensation, because the scorpion adopts a behavior that increases productivity when it senses danger, so it either becomes extinct completely or increases its productivity.".
Difficult conditions
According to Manal Siam, the available vaccines are imported from IndiaTherefore, it does not match the venom of local snakes and scorpions in Sudan, where she said: "The vaccines that we import come through the Ministry of Health and Medical Supplies, manufactured in Indian companies for scorpions whose native country is India, not Sudan, and therefore the environment differs, which means that toxicity varies, so the vaccines are not of the appropriate efficiency to treat cases, as the majority of cases currently infected with scorpion bites die.".
The research center organizes field trips to collect snakes in response to a request for help from citizens, especially in areas where a snake has been seen. cobraHowever, logistical and financial problems are an obstacle.
Rania Mohamed, Director of the Toxic Organisms Research Center at the Faculty of Science, University of Khartoum, said: "We currently as a center have financial problems, like all other problems in Sudan related to scientific research due to the scarcity of capabilities".
She outlined the challenges faced by emergency communications response teams, saying: "We have the possibility to buy a car and our equipment is all personal equipment and there is no official party that bought it for us, even the protective equipment is incomplete, today when I go out and expect to find a cobra I am not supposed to be wearing glasses and high neck boots, I am supposed to be wearing full (protection shoes) As does the rest of the world".
