The Bonaire banded box jellyfish is a stinging sea creature described as a new species in 2011. It has been found in the waters of the Dutch Caribbean islands, and it is special because it is the first Tamoya species discovered in over 100 years. Like other box jellyfish, it is venomous, so it is best to keep well away from it.1

怎样认出它

  • Has a bell shaped like a plastic bag1
  • Has a deep stomach1
  • Tentacles are banded and range in colour from reddish-orange to dark brown1
  • Has densely spread cnidocysts, which are stinging cells1

常被误认为: The closely related Tamoya haplonema lives in the waters of Brazil and the south-eastern United States, so the two can be told apart partly by where they are found.1

它对人有多危险?

对人的危险: 严重被蜇了要去看医生。死亡非常罕见。

Since 1989, three people have reported being stung by this species. The stings caused intense pain and skin damage, and one person needed hospital treatment.1

如果它蜇人

  • 离开水面,取下所有触手(戴手套或用布)。
  • 热带箱水母:在蜇伤处倒醋至少 30 秒,呼救,并准备好做心肺复苏。僧帽水母和大多数其他水母:先用海水冲洗,再用热水止痛。

一定先拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)。这里是一般急救指导,不是医疗建议。 急救基础

注意安全

  • 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物,即使是很小的,即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
  • 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
  • 如果被它蜇了:保持冷静,保持不动,拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样,拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识
