The bluebottle is a floating sea creature that looks like a jellyfish, but it is actually a colony of many linked animals that work together. It drifts on the surface of warm oceans and often washes up on beaches in large numbers. Its long tentacle can cause painful stings, so it is important to know what it looks like.1

Ihlala
Indian, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans; the most common species on Australian coasts; also Hawaiian waters1

Ekhaya
It floats on the surface of the sea, carried by currents, tides and wind. It is often stranded on beaches, where it can stay dangerous for weeks or months while the surrounding sand is moist. Most stings happen on beaches, especially on Australia's east coast.1

Indlela yokusibona

  • A gas-filled float that sits on the surface, with a sail on top of it1
  • A single long tentacle hanging below the float1
  • A float about 16 cm across, smaller than the Atlantic Portuguese man o' war, whose float is about 30 cm1
  • Often found in large groups called swarms1
  • Often washed up in large numbers on beaches after strong winds1

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: The Atlantic Portuguese man o' war (Physalia physalis) is closely related and looks similar. It has a larger float, about 30 cm across, while the bluebottle's float is about 16 cm. The bluebottle has a single long fishing tentacle.1

Amandla obuthi

Ama-tentacle ahlabayo

Izinkulungwane zamaseli amancane ahlabayo ziyadubula uma kukhona okuzithintayo.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

Its tentacle is covered in venomous cells called cnidocytes, which fire stinging threads called nematocysts. These toxic stinging cells cause painful injuries when they touch human skin. The stings can cause painful injuries at the beach.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKungaba buhlungu ngempela, kodwa cishe akukaze kube kubi kakhulu.

On Australia's east coast, 10,000 to 30,000 stings per year from animals of the genus Physalia are reported, and most incidents happen on the eastern coast. No deaths have been recorded from stings by this species. The Atlantic Portuguese man o' war has caused at least three deaths.1

Uma sihlaba

  • Phuma emanzini bese ukhipha noma yimiphi imicu ehlabayo (ama-tentacle) (ngamagilavu noma ngendwangu).
  • Kuma-box jellyfish asezindaweni ezishisayo: thela uviniga ezindaweni ezihlatshiwe okungenani imizuzwana engama-30, biza usizo futhi ulungele ukwenza i-CPR. Kuma-bluebottle nakwamanye amaningi: hlanza ngamanzi olwandle, bese usebenzisa amanzi ashisayo ngenxa yobuhlungu.

Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala

Hlala uphephile

  • Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
  • Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Uma sikuhlaba: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.

Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Sikhulu kangakanani?

Side kangakanani?

Bluebottle mkhulu kangakanani uma uqhathanisa NAWE?

Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.

Sishesha kangakanani?
