Amandla obuthi

Ukuhlaba

Ubuthi buphuma ngodosi.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

The female stings the beetle grub to paralyse it, so it cannot move. Its venom is used on prey, not as a defence for people. The sting paralyses the beetle grub so the wasp's larva can feed on it.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KuncaneNjengokuhlatshwa yinyosi noma ngaphansi. Cishe akunangozi ebantwini.

Uma sihlaba

  • Khipha udosi lwenyosi ngokulukhuhla bese upholisa indawo.
  • Uma umuntu ephefumula kanzima, ebuso noma emphinjeni kuvuvukala, noma ezizwa ezoquleka, lesi yisimo esiphuthumayo se-allergy: shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo futhi usebenzise ipeni lakhe le-adrenaline uma enalo.

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
