The thimble jellyfish is a tiny jellyfish with a flat top and straight sides, shaped a bit like a thimble. It lives in warm waters of the western Atlantic Ocean, including the Caribbean. It matters because it is the most common cause of seabather's eruption, an itchy skin rash that swimmers can get from its larvae.1

Anaishi
Tropical and subtropical western Atlantic Ocean, especially around the West Indies and the Bahamas1
Bahari ya Atlantiki, Bahari ya Karibi, Ghuba ya Meksiko
Nyumbani
It is usually found in warm surface waters, where it forms swarms. It has also been found at depths down to about 5,000 m. Swimmers in the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico and Florida may meet its larvae in the water.1

Hula nini?
It feeds on plankton. It pulls a current of water past its outstretched tentacles by pulsing its bell. Its stinging cells immobilise small animals, and the tentacles pass them to the mouth on the underside of the bell.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Mikono inayodunga

Maelfu ya seli ndogo za kudunga hufyatuka kitu kikizigusa.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

Its stinging cells, called nematocysts, can cause a skin reaction in people. The stings are not painful, but they can form an itchy rash.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

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

It is the most common cause of seabather's eruption in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. The condition happens when a swimmer touches a cloud of larvae, which stick to clothing and hair. In Florida, most cases occur between March and August.1

Akidunga

  • Toka majini na uondoe vipande vya mikono iliyonata (kwa glavu au kitambaa).
  • Kwa yavuyavu sanduku wa kitropiki: mimina siki kwenye sehemu zilizodungwa kwa angalau sekunde 30, omba msaada na uwe tayari kufanya CPR. Kwa mabotoli ya bluu na wengine wengi: suuza kwa maji ya bahari, kisha maji ya moto kupunguza maumivu.

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

1

Its larvae cause most cases of seabather's eruption, a rash that can appear after a swim.1

2

The larvae are killed when a swimmer leaves the water and bathes or dries off. This releases their under-developed stinging cells onto the skin.1

3

Swarms can cover a million square metres of sea surface.1

4

Its orangish-brown colour comes from symbiotic zooxanthellae, tiny algae that live inside its bell.1

5

Spadefish, sunfish, green sea turtles and sea slugs eat it.1

6

It swims by pulsing its bell and rotating as it moves.1
