Akiuma

Osha jeraha, lipoze au liloweke kwenye maji ya uvuguvugu kupunguza maumivu, na utafute msaada wa kitabibu likizidi.

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.
Akikuuma: 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

It is the first known amphibious centipede, meaning it can live both on land and in water.1

Its body surface is hydrophobic, so water rolls off and leaves it dry.1

It swims with eel-like side-to-side movements of its body.1

A specimen from Vietnam collected in 1928 had been misidentified as a different centipede, and was later recognised as this species.1
