Amaggwa ag'obusagwa

Amaggwa amasongovu ge galimu obusagwa. Okukirinnyako oba okukikwata kiruma.

Obusagwa bwakyo bukola ki?

Its venom is a mixture of proteins. Effects include severe pain, shock, paralysis and tissue death. A large dose can be fatal, and the fatal protein in this species is verrucotoxin. Stonefish venom can be fatal at a dose of only 18 mg, which six of its thirteen spines can release.1

It is the most venomous fish in the world and its venom can kill humans. A large dose can be fatal, and young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are at greatest risk.1

Amawulire amalungi: abasawo balina eddagala (antivenom) oba obujjanjabi ku kino.1

Kikola ki nga kitidde?

It relies on camouflage to stay hidden and, when necessary, on its back spines, each with venom sacs at its base.1

Amaggwa gaakyo bwe gakufumita

  • Immerse the affected limb in hot water, which is thought to help break down the venom proteins. A local anaesthetic can reduce the pain, and medical treatment includes antivenom. A tourniquet or firm constrictive bandage is no longer recommended.1
  • Teeka ekiwundu mu mazzi agookya, agookya nga omuntu bw'asobola okugumiikiriza nga tegamwokya (gagezese n'omukono gwo), okumala eddakiika 30 okutuuka ku 90. Funa obuyambi bw'abasawo, naddala ku stonefish ne stingray.
