The Administration of the Krkonoše National Park (KRNAP) has pointed out that the often-feared poisonous snake, which can bite and cause health problems, is also found in the Krkonoše Mountains. And that on the Czech and Polish side. It is important to know that she does not attack herself. It defends itself only in case of danger.
“The poisonous spider (Cheiracanthium punctorium) is a thermophilic species of spider with a bad reputation in the media, because it is not only poisonous like most spiders, but unlike most of its spider relatives, its mandibles can bite through human skin,” confirms KRNAP on its Facebook profile.
It is therefore certain that the poison ivy is a demonstrably part of the Krkonoše nature. It is known about at least two localities in the Czech Krkonoše and one locality in the Polish Krkonoše.
“The bite hurts, swells and causes sweating. It usually goes away within twenty-four hours. It shouldn’t be dangerous for humans,” the conservationists assure, emphasizing that the queen bee does not attack herself, she defends herself or her cocoon in danger.
