会蜇人的触手

一碰到东西,成千上万个小刺细胞就会发射。

它的毒液会造成什么?

Its venom is one of the most potent in the world. Its sting causes Irukandji syndrome, which brings severe pain, vomiting and a rapid rise in blood pressure. Other stings have caused nausea, intense pain and discomfort.1

它对人有多危险?

对人的危险: 非常危险不治疗可能会害死人。

Its sting killed American tourist Robert King while he was snorkelling off Port Douglas. Other people have been stung, including a marine stinger adviser who suffered badly blistered hands and skin loss, and a young girl. Because it is so small and hard to see, people can be stung before they notice it.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
