Nguvu ya sumu

Manyoya yanayowasha

Manyoya madogo au vinywele hukatika ndani ya ngozi na kuwasha.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

The caterpillar's yellow needle-like spines contain a mixture of at least 151 toxins, which are proteins or protein-like substances. The spines cause pain and can induce severely inflamed swellings. The toxins are released when the spine tips break on contact.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.

Contact with the spines causes painful, severely inflamed swellings.1

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

The caterpillar raises up to eight projections, each with about a hundred stinging spines, but only when it is disturbed or agitated. Its banded colours warn predators that it is dangerous.1

Ukigusa manyoya yake

Kwa manyoya ya kiwavi yanayowasha: yaondoe kwa utepe unaonata, kisha osha ngozi. Usisugue.
Kwa kuumwa: osha na upoze. Tafuta msaada wa kitabibu mtu akijisikia vibaya au akivuja damu kwa urahisi.

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.
Ukigusa manyoya yake: 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

Researchers at the University of Queensland reported in 2021 that the caterpillar's venom contains at least 151 different toxins.1

The toxin cecropin causes the pain and also breaks down the cell membranes of bacteria and worms.1

A protein called DV33 can kill Haemonchus contortus, a roundworm that affects sheep.1

Some of the toxins have medicinal properties, such as the ability to kill harmful bacteria and parasitic worms.1

Some of the nervous-system proteins in the venom may have beneficial effects, such as in epilepsy.1
