The bootlace worm is a ribbon worm that can be one of the longest animals known, with typical specimens measuring 5 to 15 metres. It lives along the coasts of northern Europe, including Britain, Norway and Denmark. Its thick, toxic mucus is its main defence.1

Anadunga sumu au ana sumu ya kugusa? Wanyama wanaodunga sumu huingiza sumu kwa kuuma au kudunga. Wanyama wenye sumu ya kugusa au kula hudhuru wakiguswa au kuliwa. Huyu ni wa aina ya pili.

Hula nini?

It feeds on prey by pushing out its proboscis, a tube-like feeding organ. It has a cluster of sticky filaments at the end of the proboscis that it uses to immobilise its prey.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua

The body is brown with lighter stripes running along its length.1
It is usually only 5 to 10 millimetres wide, but it can grow very long.1
When handled, it produces large amounts of thick mucus with a faint, pungent smell, like iron or sewage.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Sumu ndani ya ngozi

Ngozi yake ina sumu. Ni hatari kumgusa, kumramba au kumla.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

The bootlace worm does not bite or sting, so it is poisonous rather than venomous. Its mucus contains a relatively strong neurotoxin, which attacks the nerves. The mucus is highly toxic, but tests showed low toxicity in human cells.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: HafifuKama kudungwa na nyuki au chini ya hapo. Kimsingi hana madhara kwa watu.

No human injuries or deaths from this worm are known. Its mucus is highly toxic, so it is best not to touch it.1

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

When handled, it releases large amounts of thick, toxic mucus, which it uses to deter predators.1

Mtu akimgusa au kumla

Weka jeraha kwenye maji ya moto, moto kiasi ambacho mtu anaweza kuvumilia bila kuungua, na utafute msaada wa kitabibu kuondoa miiba. Usiichokonoe mwenyewe.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
Ukimgusa au kumla: usisugue macho wala mdomo, nawa mikono na utafute msaada wa kitabibu.

Hakuwindi wewe. Sumu yake ipo tu ili asiliwe na yeyote. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

In 1864, a specimen more than 55 metres long washed ashore after a severe storm near St Andrews, Scotland. It was longer than the lion's mane jellyfish.1

The bootlace worm is one of the longest known animals, and individuals have been recorded at up to 30 metres.1

Its mucus kills crabs and cockroaches in tests, and it could be used as an agricultural insecticide.1

Its body is very flexible and can stretch far beyond its usual length.1

Kuvunja dhana potofu

Dhana potofu: The bootlace worm regularly grows to over 55 metres long.

Ukweli: Reports of worms over 55 metres may be animals that were stretched. Ribbon worm bodies are flexible, so measurements should be treated with caution. Individuals are known to reach up to 30 metres.1
