The Broome Irukandji jellyfish is a tiny, see-through jellyfish. Its sting can cause Irukandji syndrome, a serious illness, and it is the most dangerous of the four Malo species. It lives in the tropical waters off Broome in western Australia.1

Domov

It lives in tropical western Australian waters around Broome. It does not usually stay close to shore, but sometimes drifts near it, which is when people most often meet it. Signs that Irukandji jellyfish are nearby include a stinging feeling in the water, known as sea lice, and clusters of salps.1

Moč strupa

Ožigalne lovke

Na tisoče drobnih ožigalnih celic se sproži, ko se jih kaj dotakne.

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

Its venom causes Irukandji syndrome, which can bring sweating, anxiety, muscle spasms, severe high blood pressure and, later, low blood pressure and heart failure. The sting itself causes little local reaction, and the symptoms do not appear straight away. They get worse as time goes on.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

It is extremely dangerous and its sting can be potentially fatal. Only the Irukandji jellyfish and the box jelly are known to cause Irukandji syndrome, and the box jelly is far more venomous. Stings are still painful and dangerous even though they are less fatal than box jelly stings.1

Če piči

The most effective treatment seems to be an intravenous infusion of magnesium, given in hospital.1
Pojdi iz vode in odstrani lovke (z rokavicami ali s krpo).
Pri tropskih kockastih meduzah: pike vsaj 30 sekund polivaj s kisom, pokliči pomoč in bodi pripravljen na oživljanje (TPO). Pri portugalskih ladjicah in večini drugih: izperi z morsko vodo, nato pa za bolečino uporabi vročo vodo.

Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči

Ostani varen

Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
Če te piči: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

It has been known to cause Irukandji syndrome, which is why it is treated as a serious hazard in the waters where it lives.1

Its venom affects the heart, and scientists have only recently worked out how.1

It swims more like a fish than a jellyfish, although scientists do not yet know why.1

Blooms of Irukandji jellyfish, including this species, are becoming more common because of human activity such as fishing and pollution.1

Blooms can make it hard for ships to pass and make the water dangerous for divers.1
