Amandla obuthi

Ameva anobuthi

Ameva abukhali aphethe ubuthi. Ukusinyathela noma ukusibamba kubuhlungu.

The spines on the back inject venom that contains cardiotoxins, which cause a drop in blood pressure and in heart and breathing rates. Symptoms include excruciating pain at the site, followed by swelling, redness and occasionally skin death. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, agitation, sweating, irregular heartbeat, difficulty breathing and severe low blood pressure.1

The spines can pose a danger to humans.1

Senzani uma sesabile?

When threatened, it spreads its pectoral fins and shows a bright colour, while venom glands at the base of its dorsal spines defend it against predators.1

Uma ameva aso ekugwaza

  • The main treatment for pain is to immerse the affected limb in hot water at 45 to 50 °C until the pain is relieved.1
  • Faka inxeba emanzini ashisayo, ashisa ngendlela umuntu angakwazi ukuyibekezelela ngaphandle kokusha (yihlole ngesandla sakho), imizuzu engama-30 kuya kwengama-90. Thola usizo lwezokwelapha, ikakhulukazi kuma-stonefish nama-stingray.

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 ameva aso ekugwaza: 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
