Silver-cheeked toadfish

Lagocephalus sceleratus
致命地球上最致命的動物之一。如果有人吃了牠,要立刻求救。快速救援和抗毒血清能救活大多數人。立刻打緊急電話。
其他有毒動物 吃了會中毒吃:肉有毒(碰或吃會中毒),不是有毒液
對人的危險: 致命世界上最危險的動物之一。

The silver-cheeked toadfish is a puffer fish with a silver stripe along each side. It lives in warm seas, and it is extremely poisonous to eat. It matters because it has spread into the Mediterranean, where people may catch it by mistake.1

有毒還是有毒液?有毒液的動物會用咬或螫把毒液注入身體。有毒的動物則是碰到或吃下去會有害。這種動物是有毒的(碰或吃會中毒)。

怎麼認出牠

  • Grey or brown back with darker spots1
  • White belly1
  • A characteristic silver band along each side1
  • Long, slim body, more elongated than the oceanic pufferfish1
  • Symmetrical tail fin1

常被誤認為: It is very similar to the oceanic pufferfish. The silver-cheeked toadfish is more elongated and has a symmetrical tail fin.1

毒素力量

吃了會中毒

只有被吃下去時才有害。

牠的毒素有什麼作用?

It is not venomous. Its poison is tetrodotoxin, which is found mainly in the ovaries, and to a lesser extent in the skin, muscles and liver. The toxin causes paralysis of involuntary muscles, the muscles the body controls without thinking. This can stop breathing or cause heart failure.1

牠對人有多危險?

對人的危險: 致命世界上最危險的動物之一。

It is extremely poisonous if eaten. Fatal poisonings have been reported in Egypt, Israel and Turkey.1

如果有人碰了或吃了牠

  • 如果有人吃了牠,或吃了之後出現症狀:立刻打緊急電話或打給毒物諮詢中心。

一定要先打緊急電話(112、000、911)。這是一般急救指引,不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識

注意安全

  • 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物,就算是很小的動物,就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
  • 給牠空間。如果遇到了,保持冷靜,慢慢往後退,讓牠自己離開。
  • 如果你碰了或吃了牠:不要揉眼睛或摸嘴巴,把手洗乾淨,並且就醫。

牠不是想來抓你。牠的毒只是為了不讓別的動物吃掉牠。 更多安全知識
