Kekuatan racun

Beracun jika dimakan

Ia hanya berbahaya jika ada yang memakannya.

Apa efek racunnya?

The shark is not venomous. Its meat is poisonous to mammals because it contains high levels of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a natural chemical that makes the flesh toxic.1

Seberapa berbahaya bagi manusia?

Bahaya bagi manusia: MenyakitkanBisa sangat sakit, tetapi hampir tidak pernah serius.

Greenland sharks are not considered a threat to people, because they live deep in remote, cold waters. Only one possible attack is recorded, in 1936, and it was never linked to this species. One unverified report from around 1859 describes a human leg found in a shark's stomach.1

Apa yang dilakukannya saat takut?

When hauled onto a boat, it thrashes its tail so violently that it is dangerous to stand near it, and its muscles can still twitch after death.1

Jika seseorang menyentuh atau memakannya

  • Jika seseorang memakannya atau mengalami gejala setelah memakannya: segera hubungi nomor darurat atau pusat informasi keracunan.

Ia tidak mengincarmu. Racunnya hanya ada supaya tidak ada yang memakannya. Lebih lanjut tentang tetap aman
