Atlantic sea nettle
The Atlantic sea nettle is a jellyfish that lives along the Atlantic coast of the United States. It has a bell-shaped body and stinging tentacles that it uses to catch food and to defend itself. Its sting is painful for people, but it is not strong enough to cause death except through an allergic reaction.1

Paano ito makikilala
- Bell-shaped body that is usually semi-transparent1
- Small white dots and reddish-brown stripes on the bell1
- Typically pale, pinkish or yellowish, with deeper stripes near the edge of the bell1
- Bells without stripes look white or opaque1
- Smaller than the Pacific sea nettle1
Madalas mapagkamalang: It was often confused with several other Chrysaora species, so older reports of this jellyfish from other parts of the Atlantic and other oceans may be wrong. C. chesapeakei, found in estuaries on the Atlantic coast of the United States and in the Gulf of Mexico, was only recognised as a separate species in 2017. The Atlantic sea nettle is smaller than the Pacific sea nettle and has more variable colouring.1

Ano ang epekto ng kamandag nito?
Each tentacle is covered in thousands of microscopic cells that fire venom-coated stinging filaments on contact. The venom can kill smaller prey or stun predators. In people, the sting most likely causes a painful but non-lethal rash that usually lasts about 20 minutes. Some earlier reported stings in the Philippines caused vascular insufficiency (poor blood flow) and mononeuritis (inflammation of a nerve).1
Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?
Panganib sa tao: MasakitTalagang masakit, pero halos hindi kailanman malala.Its sting is rated from moderate to severe. It is not potent enough to cause human death, except through an allergic reaction. While the sting is not particularly harmful, it can cause moderate discomfort.1
Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?
When touched, its tentacles fire venom-coated stinging filaments that stun or deter a perceived predator.1
Kung tumusok ito
- Misting vinegar over the affected area can neutralise the sting. This stops unfired stinging cells from firing and adding to the discomfort.1
- Umahon sa tubig at tanggalin ang anumang galamay (gamit ang guwantes o tela).
- Para sa tropikal na box jellyfish: buhusan ng suka ang mga tusok nang hindi bababa sa 30 segundo, tumawag ng tulong at maging handang mag-CPR. Para sa bluebottle at karamihan sa iba: banlawan ng tubig-dagat, pagkatapos ay mainit na tubig para sa sakit.
Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas
Mag-ingat
- Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
- Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
- Kung tusukin ka ng isa: manatiling kalmado, huwag gumalaw, tawagan ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911) o pumunta agad sa ospital. Tandaan ang itsura nito, makakatulong ang litrato.
Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ginagamit nito ang kamandag para manghuli ng pagkain o ipagtanggol ang sarili, at mas gusto pa nitong magtago. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat

Mga fact
Its body has no excretory or respiratory organs.1
Its stinging cells can also entangle or anchor prey, not only inject venom.1

It has a free-swimming stage and a polyp stage, and each reproduces in a different way.1
Its body is radially symmetrical, with a single mouth at the centre of one end.1
Myth buster
Mito: The Atlantic sea nettle lives in the Atlantic and other oceans around the world.
