Although its bite is not fatal, it is very painful and the venom can cause inflammation of the lymph nodes, necrosis of the affected skin, nausea, dizziness or rapid pulse.
In these cases, medical treatment should be sought immediately, especially if the victim is a child or an elderly person
The councilor of Izquierda Unida-Verdes in Lorca, Gloria Martín, has echoed the social alarm that emerged after the appearance of more than a dozen tarantulas in the park 'La Verdad'.
The copies have also been found in the garages and portals of the adjoining houses, which has generated great concern among the neighborhood.
The spokesman and candidate of this training, Pedro Sosa, was the one who last Monday gave notice to the sanitary authorities in order to identify the specific species of the arachnid, which has not yet been confirmed although it is believed that it could be the spider wolf (Lycosa tarantula).
Although its bite is not fatal, it is very painful and the venom can cause inflammation of the lymph nodes, necrosis of the affected skin, nausea, dizziness or rapid pulse.
In these cases, medical treatment should be sought immediately, especially if the victim is a child or an elderly person.
Since some of the spiders have been found in the park, Izquierda Unida has requested the fumigation of the area, including the garages of the houses, to avoid precisely pitting in minors.
He has also contacted the San Cristóbal school management so that an inspection of the facilities is carried out, in order to rule out the presence of these animals in the school.
Adaptation of the La Verdad park
Sosa and Martín have taken advantage of their visit to the La Verdad park together with the neighbors to confirm that the improvements that IU requested in the Plenary Assembly more than four months ago have not yet been carried out.
Unlike other existing in Lorca, this park still lacks rubber floors to cushion the falls of children.
In addition, there are still games broken and damaged by the lack of conservation, maintenance and replacement.
Martín has once again asked the City Council to check whether the maintenance works of this and other parks in Lorca, outsourced to a private company, are being carried out in accordance with the agreed stipulations.
He has also insisted that the "La Verdad" become an inclusive park in Lorca, so that some of the elements of play for children are designed and arranged under criteria of universal accessibility: swings with closure adapted to chairs wheels, safe seats with backrests and armrests, sensory games, etc.
An adaptation that should also arrive sooner than later to all children's play areas of Lorca.
