Amandla obuthi

Izinwele ezihlabayo

Izinwele ezincane noma amaboya aphukela esikhumbeni bese ehlaba.

Ubuthi baso benzani?

The caterpillar's yellow needle-like spines contain a mixture of at least 151 toxins, which are proteins or protein-like substances. The spines cause pain and can induce severely inflamed swellings. The toxins are released when the spine tips break on contact.1

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Contact with the spines causes painful, severely inflamed swellings.1

Senzani uma sesabile?

The caterpillar raises up to eight projections, each with about a hundred stinging spines, but only when it is disturbed or agitated. Its banded colours warn predators that it is dangerous.1

Uma uthinta izinwele zaso

Ezinweleni zezimbungu ezihlabayo: zisuse ngetheyiphu enamathelayo, bese ugeza isikhumba. Ungahlikihli.
Uma kulunyiwe: geza bese upholisa. Thola usizo lwezokwelapha uma umuntu ezizwa engaphilile noma opha kalula.

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 uthinta izinwele zaso: 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

Amaqiniso

Researchers at the University of Queensland reported in 2021 that the caterpillar's venom contains at least 151 different toxins.1

The toxin cecropin causes the pain and also breaks down the cell membranes of bacteria and worms.1

A protein called DV33 can kill Haemonchus contortus, a roundworm that affects sheep.1

Some of the toxins have medicinal properties, such as the ability to kill harmful bacteria and parasitic worms.1

Some of the nervous-system proteins in the venom may have beneficial effects, such as in epilepsy.1
