Gifkrag

Giftige stekels

Skerp stekels dra die gif. Dit maak seer as jy daarop trap of dit gryp.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

The venom is carried in spines on the head (infraorbital and preopercular bones) and in the dorsal, anal and pectoral fins. Stings cause severe pain and swelling around the affected area, along with nausea, sweating, paralysis of the limbs and fainting. In the worst cases the venom can affect the cardiovascular system, which controls the heart and blood flow.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: ErnstigAs sy stekels jou steek, gaan dokter toe. Sterftes is baie skaars.

People who have been stung by this fish rarely die. Symptoms can nevertheless be severe.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

It is well defended by venomous spines on its head and fins.1

As sy stekels jou steek

Sit die wond in warm water, so warm as wat die persoon kan verdra sonder om te brand (toets dit met jou eie hand), vir 30 tot 90 minute. Kry mediese hulp, veral vir klipvisse en pylsterte.

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 sy stekels jou steek: 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

Feite

It can live for more than 14 years, and large individuals are much older than other species of the same size, because it grows slowly.1

It spends the day motionless and hunts at night, waiting for prey to come close.1

Its genus, Gymnapistes, comes from a Greek word meaning 'bare' or 'naked', which refers to its mostly scaleless body.1
