The devil reef crab is a brightly patterned crab that lives on coral reefs across the Indo-Pacific, from East Africa to Hawaii. It is one of the most dangerous crabs in the world to eat, because its flesh and shell contain strong nerve poisons.1

Obutwa bwakyo bukola ki?

This animal is poisonous, not venomous, so it harms people when eaten rather than through a bite or sting. Its shell and meat contain tetrodotoxin and saxitoxin, which are neurotoxins (poisons that attack the nerves). They are absorbed through the gut and interfere with the sodium channels in nerve cells.1

Kirina akabi kenkana wa eri abantu?

Akabi eri abantu: KittaEmu ku nsolo ezisinga akabi mu nsi.

Poisoning from this crab can be fatal. In the Philippines, 50% of intoxication cases are reported to be fatal, and 12 people died on Negros Island in the 1980s. In Timor-Leste, one man died within hours of eating it, and in February 2021 two children in Cagayan died after eating crab their father had caught.1

Omuntu bw'aba nga akikutteko oba akiridde

  • Omuntu bw'aba nga akiridde oba alina obubonero oluvannyuma lw'okukirya: kuba amangu ddala ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze oba ekifo ekikola ku butwa (poison centre).

Bulijjo sooka kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911). Buno bulagirizi bwa bujjanjabi obusooka obwa bulijjo, si kuwabula kwa musawo. Obujjanjabi obusooka obw'omusingi

Weekuume

  • Tokwatako, tokwata wadde okusoomooza ensolo ey'omu nsiko, ne bw'eba ntono, era ne bw'eba erabika nga yeebase oba nga efudde.
  • Gireke n'ebbanga. Bw'osisinkana emu, beera mukkakkamu, dda emabega mpola era gireke egende mu kkubo lyayo.
  • Bw'oba okikutteko oba okiridde: tokolokota maaso go wadde akamwa, naaza engalo zo era funa obuyambi bw'abasawo.

Some specimens have been found to contain more than 3000 MU of saxitoxin per gram, a lethal amount for humans.1

3

The toxins are the same kind of compound that makes pufferfish poisonous.1
