Rough-skinned newt
Terisida zaharTegish yoki yeyish xavfli, lekin chaqmaydi va nish urmaydiThe rough-skinned newt is a small, stocky amphibian from the Pacific Northwest of North America. Its skin gives off one of the strongest toxins of any newt, so it is a creature to admire from a distance and never handle. Its toxin is also linked to a famous fight between newts and garter snakes.1

Uning terisi zaharli. Unga tegish, uni yalash yoki yeyish xavfli.
Uning zahari (tegsa yoki yesa) nima qiladi?
This animal is poisonous rather than venomous, so it does not bite or sting. Its skin produces tetrodotoxin (TTX), a neurotoxin that attacks the nerves. It blocks the sodium channels that nerves need to send signals. This can cause paralysis and death by asphyxiation, which means the person cannot breathe.1

Odamlar uchun xavf: Juda xavfliDavolanmagan odamni oʻldirishi mumkin.The toxin is mainly dangerous if the newt is eaten. Some people have had skin irritation after handling the newt, especially if they touch their eyes without washing their hands first. In 1979, a 29-year-old man from Oregon died after eating one. Some newts make enough toxin to kill several adult humans.1
Qoʻrqqanda nima qiladi?
It gives off an acrid smell that warns animals to stay away.1
Agar kimdir unga tegsa yoki uni yesa
- Agar kimdir unga tekkan boʻlsa: qoʻllarni yaxshilab yuv va koʻz yoki ogʻizga tegma. Agar bola yoki uy hayvoni uni yalagan yoki yegan boʻlsa: zaharlanish markaziga yoki favqulodda yordam raqamiga qoʻngʻiroq qil.
Har doim avval favqulodda yordam raqamiga qoʻngʻiroq qil (112, 000, 911). Bu birinchi yordam boʻyicha umumiy maslahat, tibbiy maslahat emas. Birinchi yordam asoslari
Xavfsiz boʻl
- Hech qachon yovvoyi hayvonga tegma, uni tutma yoki jigʻiga tegma, hatto kichkina boʻlsa ham va hatto uxlayotgan yoki oʻlik koʻrinsa ham.
- Unga joy ber. Agar duch kelsang, xotirjam boʻl, sekin orqaga chekin va uni oʻz yoʻliga ketishiga qoʻy.
- Agar unga tekkan yoki uni yegan boʻlsang: koʻzing yoki ogʻzingni ishqalama, qoʻllaringni yuv va tibbiy yordam ol.
U seni ovlamoqchi emas. Uning zahari faqat uni hech kim yemasligi uchun bor. Xavfsiz qolish haqida batafsil

Faktlar
Some common garter snakes can eat rough-skinned newts and survive. They are the only known animals today able to do this.1
A garter snake tests a newt's toxin level by partly swallowing it, then either swallows it fully or lets it go.1
Newts can detect the chemical signature of a snake that has digested one of their kind, and they move away from it.1
The toxin is made by the newt's skin microbiome, meaning the bacteria living on its skin.1
The newt and the garter snake are an example of an evolutionary arms race. Each change in one species drives change in the other.1
The toxin also appears in pufferfish and other marine animals, which share the same nerve-blocking effect.1
