jellyfish
Speaking of jellyfish, many people will ask doubtfully, jellyfish, is not it a jellyfish? Jellyfish skin, jellyfish silk everyone loves to eat, cold mix taste is very good. In fact, jellyfish are jellyfish, but jellyfish are not necessarily jellyfish. Jellyfish are just one type of jellyfish, most of which are poisonous and inedible.
Spring is the season for the reproduction of plants and animals, and even the jellyfish in the water do not spare this annual breeding season, gathering in shallow water to breed the next generation. However, danger also comes, and between the high and low tides, there are always many jellyfish that are left on the beach and die of lack of water.
Stranded jellyfish
Two days ago, I saw the news that on the beach in the sea area of Baihutou Mountain in Maoming City, Guangdong Province, a large number of jellyfish ran aground, how big are these jellyfish, the diameter is between sixty centimeters and eighty centimeters, weighing twenty or thirty kilograms. Nearby villagers and tourists rushed to pick them up and prepare to go home to cook food.
In Xiamen's Zengcuo'an, a jellyfish corpse with a diameter of one meter and a weight of nearly 100 kilograms after unfolding attracted the attention of everyone, one of the men, picked up the jellyfish and left. His actions were blocked by strangers around him.
Stranded jellyfish do not eat
It was agreed that the jellyfish could be poisonous and unsafe to eat. Thanks to everyone's efforts, the man finally gave up the idea of eating jellyfish corpses. The body of the jellyfish was buried on the spot.
Jellyfish, as a very beautiful aquatic animal, its history is older than that of dinosaurs. As a low-level invertebrate zooplankton, jellyfish are not vegetarians, but carnivores, and tentacles can wrap and release venom to poison and strangle prey.
Cap-shaped jellyfish
When people swim in the water, if they are accidentally poisoned by jellyfish, they will feel the sting of being whipped by a leather whip, and when they are severe, they will have difficulty breathing and endanger their lives, and they must not be taken lightly.
In fact, in China, the main jellyfish that can be eaten are: jellyfish, rod jellyfish and macular jellyfish, other jellyfish, please stay away. In particular, there is a guy called the monk's hat jellyfish, who is used to floating on the surface of the water, but if it is stung by it, it is extremely painful, and its tentacles can kill any living thing within ten meters.
When a swimmer sees him on the surface of the sea, it may be too late. Stung by it, no less than being bitten by a poisonous snake, the pain is still secondary, and more importantly, this neurotoxin will make people breathless, lose consciousness, shock throughout the body, and finally die of pulmonary circulatory failure.
Tank jellyfish
There is also a kind of box jellyfish, also known as cubic jellyfish, its tentacles are also extremely toxic to the human body, its toxicity can destroy the coordination of heart cells, resulting in the heart can not beat normally to pump blood, once it is stung, four minutes can cause death, a box jellyfish is enough to poison 60 adults.
In the early years, an Australian seafood canning factory accidentally mixed a highly toxic box jellyfish tentacle that was only one centimeter long, and although it was cooked at high temperatures, the toxicity did not diminish. People who ate canned food soon developed symptoms of poisoning and died within two hours of being admitted to the hospital.
The Australian government sent two marine researchers to search for tank jellyfish, and one of them was stung by the tank jellyfish and died before he could be pulled on the boat by his colleagues. Australian box jellyfish, Australia, was once rated as the first of the top ten most poisonous animals in the world.
Therefore, for the health and safety of your own life and your family, please do not pick up jellyfish casually without understanding.
