Indlela yokusibona

  • It is the smallest of the four living horseshoe crab species.1
  • Its tail has a rounded cross section. In the other species the tail is essentially triangular.1
  • Females are larger than males. Females are typically about 30.5 to 31.5 cm long including the tail.1
  • Adults have a large dome-shaped front shell, a smaller rear shell with spines on its edge, and a spike-like tail.1

Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: It is often confused with Tachypleus gigas, which is harmless to eat. The mangrove horseshoe crab has a rounded tail, while T. gigas has a triangular one. Tachypleus tridentatus can live in the same habitat.1

Amandla oshevu

Sinoshevu uma sidliwa

Siyingozi kuphela uma kukhona okusidlayo.

Ushevu waso wenzani?

Its flesh contains tetrodotoxin (TTX), a poison that is lethal. This is a poison in the food, not a venom from a bite or sting.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: Kuyingozi kakhuluSingabulala umuntu ongatholi kwelashwa.

Several cases of food poisoning have happened after people ate this crab, and some of these cases were fatal. These cases usually occur when the crab is mistaken for the harmless T. gigas.1

Uma umuntu esithintile noma esidlile

  • Uma umuntu esidlile noma enezimpawu ngemva kokusidla: shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo noma isikhungo soshevu (poison centre) ngokushesha.

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
