The red lionfish is a venomous coral reef fish with long, frilled fins that look like a mane. It is native to the Indo-Pacific, but it has spread into the Caribbean, the east coast of the United States and other areas, where it is an invasive species. Its spreading is a serious problem for local reef life.1

Its sting is usually not fatal to humans. Some people are more sensitive to the venom than others, so the effects can be more serious for them.1

Ikora iki iyo ifite ubwoba?

When threatened, it turns its venomous dorsal spines towards the attacker, even if it has to swim upside down.1

Niba amahwa yayo akujombye

  • A common treatment is soaking the affected area in hot water, as very few hospitals carry specific treatments. Immediate emergency medical attention is strongly recommended, because some people react more strongly than others.1
  • Shyira igikomere mu mazi ashyushye, ashyushye uko umuntu abyihanganira atiriwe ashya (bigerageze ukoresheje ukuboko kwawe), mu gihe cy'iminota 30 kugeza kuri 90. Shaka ubufasha bwa muganga, cyane cyane ku bya stonefish na stingray.

  • Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
  • Niba amahwa yayo akujombye: tuza, ntunyeganyege, hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911) cyangwa ujye ku bitaro vuba. Ibuka uko yasaga, ifoto irafasha.

Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Ikoresha ubumara bwayo kugira ngo ifate ibyo kurya cyangwa yirinde, kandi ikunda cyane kwihisha. Ibindi ku kwirinda
