  • The caterpillar has black spots along its sides and a black head capsule.1
  • The adult moth has yellowish-brown forewings marked with white splotches, which look like stained glass.1

Gifkrag

Brandhare

Piepklein haartjies of borsels breek in die vel af en brand.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

No venom has yet been isolated or identified in this moth. Its hairs cause irritant contact dermatitis, an itchy rash, in many people, especially those prone to allergies. The rash can resemble exposure to urushiol, the irritant found in poison ivy.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.

In over 350 documented cases, most people had no symptoms within 24 hours. No case involved anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction. The hairs are microscopically barbed, and if they are transferred from the hands to the eyes they may rarely cause serious medical complications.1

As jy aan sy hare raak

  • Vir ruspe-brandhare: lig hulle af met kleefband en was dan die vel. Moenie vryf nie.
  • Vir byte: was en koel af. Kry mediese hulp as die persoon sleg voel of maklik bloei.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

  • Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
  • Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
  • As jy aan sy hare raak: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly
