The spotted scorpionfish is a venomous fish that lives in the Atlantic Ocean. It hides on shallow coral reefs and rocky seabeds, where it waits, almost still, for small fish and crustaceans to come close. Its back spines carry venom, so it is one to keep well away from.1

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Amava anetyhefu

Amava abukhali aphethe ityhefu. Ukusinyathela okanye ukusibamba kubuhlungu.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

The spines on the back inject venom that contains cardiotoxins, which cause a drop in blood pressure and in heart and breathing rates. Symptoms include excruciating pain at the site, followed by swelling, redness and occasionally skin death. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, agitation, sweating, irregular heartbeat, difficulty breathing and severe low blood pressure.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: Kubi kakhuluUkuba amava aso ayakugwaza, yiya kugqirha. Ukufa kunqabe kakhulu.

The spines can pose a danger to humans.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

When threatened, it spreads its pectoral fins and shows a bright colour, while venom glands at the base of its dorsal spines defend it against predators.1

Ukuba amava aso ayakugwaza

  • The main treatment for pain is to immerse the affected limb in hot water at 45 to 50 °C until the pain is relieved.1
  • Faka inxeba emanzini ashushu, ashushu kangangoko umntu angakwazi ukunyamezela ngaphandle kokutshiswa (wavavanye ngesandla sakho), imizuzu engama-30 ukuya kwengama-90. Fumana uncedo lwezonyango, ingakumbi kwii-stonefish nakwii-stingray.

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 amava aso ayakugwaza: 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
