Ii-tentacle ezihlabayo

Amawaka eeseli ezincinci ezihlabayo ziyadubula xa kukho into ezichukumisayo.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

Its venom causes Irukandji syndrome, which can bring sweating, anxiety, muscle spasms, severe high blood pressure and, later, low blood pressure and heart failure. The sting itself causes little local reaction, and the symptoms do not appear straight away. They get worse as time goes on.1

It is extremely dangerous and its sting can be potentially fatal. Only the Irukandji jellyfish and the box jelly are known to cause Irukandji syndrome, and the box jelly is far more venomous. Stings are still painful and dangerous even though they are less fatal than box jelly stings.1

Ukuba siyahlaba

The most effective treatment seems to be an intravenous infusion of magnesium, given in hospital.1
Phuma emanzini kwaye ususe naziphi na ii-tentacle (ngeiglavu okanye ngelaphu).
Kwiijelifishi zebhokisi (box jellyfish) zasetropiki: thela iviniga kwiindawo ezihlatyiweyo ubuncinane imizuzwana engama-30, biza uncedo kwaye ulungele ukwenza i-CPR. Kwii-bluebottle nakwezinye ezininzi: hlambulula ngamanzi olwandle, emva koko usebenzise amanzi ashushu ngenxa yeentlungu.

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba siyakuhlaba: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

It has been known to cause Irukandji syndrome, which is why it is treated as a serious hazard in the waters where it lives.1

Its venom affects the heart, and scientists have only recently worked out how.1

It swims more like a fish than a jellyfish, although scientists do not yet know why.1

Blooms of Irukandji jellyfish, including this species, are becoming more common because of human activity such as fishing and pollution.1

Blooms can make it hard for ships to pass and make the water dangerous for divers.1
