The thimble jellyfish is a tiny jellyfish with a flat top and straight sides, shaped a bit like a thimble. It lives in warm waters of the western Atlantic Ocean, including the Caribbean. It matters because it is the most common cause of seabather's eruption, an itchy skin rash that swimmers can get from its larvae.1

Sihlala

Tropical and subtropical western Atlantic Ocean, especially around the West Indies and the Bahamas1

uLwandlekazi lweAtlantiki, uLwandle lweKharibhiya, iGulf yaseMexico

Ekhaya

It is usually found in warm surface waters, where it forms swarms. It has also been found at depths down to about 5,000 m. Swimmers in the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico and Florida may meet its larvae in the water.1

Ubude

1,6 cm (0,6 in)1

Esona santya siphezulu

malunga ne-0,33 km/h (0,21 mph)

Sitya ntoni?

It feeds on plankton. It pulls a current of water past its outstretched tentacles by pulsing its bell. Its stinging cells immobilise small animals, and the tentacles pass them to the mouth on the underside of the bell.1

Ii-tentacle ezihlabayo

Amawaka eeseli ezincinci ezihlabayo ziyadubula xa kukho into ezichukumisayo.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

Its stinging cells, called nematocysts, can cause a skin reaction in people. The stings are not painful, but they can form an itchy rash.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKunokuba buhlungu ngokwenene, kodwa phantse akusoze kube kubi kakhulu.

It is the most common cause of seabather's eruption in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. The condition happens when a swimmer touches a cloud of larvae, which stick to clothing and hair. In Florida, most cases occur between March and August.1

Ukuba siyahlaba

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.

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 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

Its larvae cause most cases of seabather's eruption, a rash that can appear after a swim.1

The larvae are killed when a swimmer leaves the water and bathes or dries off. This releases their under-developed stinging cells onto the skin.1

Swarms can cover a million square metres of sea surface.1

Its orangish-brown colour comes from symbiotic zooxanthellae, tiny algae that live inside its bell.1

Spadefish, sunfish, green sea turtles and sea slugs eat it.1

It swims by pulsing its bell and rotating as it moves.1
