The dyeing poison dart frog is a small, brightly marked frog from the rainforests of north-eastern South America. It is one of the largest poison dart frogs and one of the most colourful, with more than 30 recognised colour forms. Its skin contains toxins, so it is a frog to admire from a distance.1

Amandla oshevu

Ushevu esikhumbeni saso

Isikhumba saso sinoshevu. Kuyingozi ukusithinta, ukusikhotha noma ukusidla.

Ushevu waso wenzani?

Its skin secretions contain alkaloids, which are toxic chemicals that interfere with nerve and muscle tissue. They can cause pain, cramping and stiffness, and in severe cases locomotor difficulties, convulsions, paralysis or death. In a reported case in Brazil, two men who handled the frog felt numbness within about 20 minutes, and the symptoms had gone after 40 minutes.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

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

The frog is toxic if eaten, and its skin toxins can affect anyone who handles it. In a reported case, two adult male photographers in the Brazilian Amazon both had mild numbness that passed within 40 minutes. Their symptoms could have been worse with longer contact or if there had been a wound where they touched the frog.1

Senzani uma sesabile?

Its bright colours warn predators that its skin secretions are unpleasant, and predators that bite it tend to link the colours with the pain.1

Uma umuntu esithintile noma esidlile

  • Uma umuntu esithintile: geza izandla kahle futhi ungathinti amehlo noma umlomo. Uma ingane noma isilwane sasekhaya sisikhothile noma sisidlile: shayela isikhungo soshevu noma inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo.

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 usithintile noma usidlile: ungahlikihli amehlo noma umlomo wakho, geza izandla zakho futhi uthole usizo lwezokwelapha.

Asikuzingeli wena. Ushevu waso ukhona nje ukuze kungabikho okusidlayo. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile
