Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: MbayaKudungwa kunahitaji daktari. Vifo ni nadra sana.
Akidunga
- Kubana na kutotikisa: funga bandeji nyororo kwa nguvu juu ya jeraha kisha mguu au mkono mzima, weka banzi, na umweke mtu bila kutikisika kabisa hadi msaada ufike.
- Pweza mwenye pete za bluu au konokono koni anaweza kusimamisha pumzi ya mtu akiwa bado ana fahamu: omba msaada na uwe tayari kumpa pumzi ya uokoaji hadi gari la wagonjwa lifike.
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.
- Akikudunga: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.
Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli
For about two centuries, this shell was regarded as the rarest shell in the world.1
Specimens were once valued in the thousands of U.S. dollars and were generally owned only by museums and wealthy private collectors.1
Today, shells can often be found from retailers or online auction sites for less than $100 U.S.1
Its habitat was not discovered until 1969.1
Improvements in diving technology, such as scuba, led to the discovery of far more shells.1
Kuvunja dhana potofu
Dhana potofu: A collector bought one at auction in 1792 and destroyed it to keep the value of another one he owned.
Ukweli: This is an urban legend, a popular story that has spread among collectors. It is not an established fact.1
