Dyeing poison dart frog

Dendrobates tinctorius
Tungkol sa pangalan: The specific name tinctorius does not refer to its colours. It comes from legends of some indigenous tribes, who said they used frog poisons to make green parrot feathers grow in different colours.1

The dyeing poison dart frog is a small, brightly marked frog from the rainforests of north-eastern South America. It is one of the largest poison dart frogs and one of the most colourful, with more than 30 recognised colour forms. Its skin contains toxins, so it is a frog to admire from a distance.1

Nakalalason o makamandag? Ang mga makamandag na hayop ay nag-iiniksiyon ng kamandag sa pamamagitan ng kagat o tusok. Ang mga nakalalasong hayop ay nakapipinsala kapag hinawakan o kinain. Ang isang ito ay nakalalason.

Lakas ng lason

May lason sa balat nito

Nakalalason ang balat nito. Delikado itong hawakan, dilaan o kainin.

Ano ang epekto ng lason nito?

Its skin secretions contain alkaloids, which are toxic chemicals that interfere with nerve and muscle tissue. They can cause pain, cramping and stiffness, and in severe cases locomotor difficulties, convulsions, paralysis or death. In a reported case in Brazil, two men who handled the frog felt numbness within about 20 minutes, and the symptoms had gone after 40 minutes.1

Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?

Panganib sa tao: MasakitTalagang masakit, pero halos hindi kailanman malala.

The frog is toxic if eaten, and its skin toxins can affect anyone who handles it. In a reported case, two adult male photographers in the Brazilian Amazon both had mild numbness that passed within 40 minutes. Their symptoms could have been worse with longer contact or if there had been a wound where they touched the frog.1

Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?

Its bright colours warn predators that its skin secretions are unpleasant, and predators that bite it tend to link the colours with the pain.1

Kung may humawak o kumain nito

  • Kung may humawak sa isa: hugasang mabuti ang mga kamay at huwag hawakan ang mata o bibig. Kung may batang o alagang hayop na dumila o kumain ng isa: tawagan ang poison control center o ang numero pang-emergency.

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 nahawakan o nakain mo ito: huwag kuskusin ang mata o bibig mo, hugasan ang mga kamay mo at kumuha ng tulong medikal.

Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ang lason nito ay para lang walang kumain dito. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat
