Striped poison-fang blenny
咬伤The striped poison-fang blenny is a small, stout fish from the western Pacific Ocean. It has large fangs in its lower jaw and a venom that scientists are studying as a possible new painkiller for people. It sometimes turns up in the aquarium trade.1

毒液之力
它咬的时候,毒液通过毒牙或牙齿出来。
它的毒液会造成什么?
The venom targets the body's opioid receptors, which are the sites in the body that pain-relieving chemicals act on. It contains a neuropeptide also found in cone snail venom, a lipase similar to one in some scorpion venoms, and an opioid peptide. The venom lowers the blood pressure of a predator, which relaxes its jaws so the blenny can escape.1
它对人有多危险?
对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。
如果它咬人
- 把伤口泡在热水里,水温以不烫伤为限、尽量热(先用你自己的手试一试),泡 30 到 90 分钟。去看医生,尤其是被石头鱼和魟鱼伤到时。
