Sesungut yang menyengat

Ribuan sel penyengat kecil melepaskan sengat apabila sesuatu menyentuhnya.

Apa kesan bisanya?

The stinging cells on the tentacles release venom that causes an extremely painful sting. The sting is linear, meaning it leaves a line of marks on the skin. Apart from pain, it can cause heart dysfunction and slowed breathing, which are systemic symptoms that affect the whole body. The rash can last for several months.1

Berapa bahaya ia kepada manusia?

Bahaya kepada manusia: Sangat berbahayaIa boleh membunuh orang yang tidak mendapat rawatan.

The sting is extremely painful and can be life-threatening. A four-year-old boy in the Gulf of Mexico died within forty minutes of being stung. Off the coast of Brazil, 16 stings over five years were identified as coming from this species. Children are especially at risk.1

Berita baik: doktor ada ubat (antibisa) atau rawatan untuk ini.1

Apa yang ia buat apabila takut?

Its long, stinging tentacles deter predators.1

Jika ia menyengat

Antivenom given within a few hours of the sting relieves the pain somewhat, reduces the severity of the rash and improves other symptoms. In extreme cases, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can be effective if started promptly.1
Keluar dari air dan tanggalkan semua sesungut (dengan sarung tangan atau kain).
Untuk obor-obor kotak tropika: tuang cuka pada sengatan sekurang-kurangnya 30 saat, panggil bantuan dan bersedia melakukan CPR. Untuk bluebottle dan kebanyakan yang lain: bilas dengan air laut, kemudian air panas untuk menghilangkan sakit.

berguna untuk diketahui

Fakta

Its bell is almost completely transparent, which makes it hard to spot in the water.1

Its tentacles are the longest part of its body, reaching several metres in length.1

Along the Texas Gulf coast in 1955 and 1956, large numbers appeared inshore during drought, when the water was saltier than normal.1

Scientists have done little research on this species, and studies have found that jellyfish from different regions can have different stinging cells.1

Small specimens were often caught in shrimp trawls, while the adults were seldom seen near the surface.1
