Iinwele ezihlabayo

Iinwele ezincinci okanye iinwele ezirhabaxa ziyaqhawuka esikhumbeni kwaye ziyahlaba.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

The caterpillar's yellow needle-like spines contain a mixture of at least 151 toxins, which are proteins or protein-like substances. The spines cause pain and can induce severely inflamed swellings. The toxins are released when the spine tips break on contact.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Contact with the spines causes painful, severely inflamed swellings.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

The caterpillar raises up to eight projections, each with about a hundred stinging spines, but only when it is disturbed or agitated. Its banded colours warn predators that it is dangerous.1

Ukuba uchukumisa iinwele zaso

Kwiinwele zemibungu ehlabayo: zisuse ngeteyipu encamathelayo, emva koko uhlambe isikhumba. Musa ukukhuhla.
Kukulunywa: hlamba uze upholise. Fumana uncedo lwezonyango ukuba umntu uziva engaphilanga kakuhle okanye wopha lula.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

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 uchukumisa iinwele zaso: 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

kufanelekile ukwazi

Iinyaniso

Researchers at the University of Queensland reported in 2021 that the caterpillar's venom contains at least 151 different toxins.1

The toxin cecropin causes the pain and also breaks down the cell membranes of bacteria and worms.1

A protein called DV33 can kill Haemonchus contortus, a roundworm that affects sheep.1

Some of the toxins have medicinal properties, such as the ability to kill harmful bacteria and parasitic worms.1

Some of the nervous-system proteins in the venom may have beneficial effects, such as in epilepsy.1
