Pili ke kumulāʻau i ke kauoha o nā ʻūnū a, e like me mākou āpau i ʻike ʻia ka mauʻu, hiki ke "sting". Akā, ʻokoʻa ka ʻupena maʻamau, ʻo ka wela ma hope o ka pā ʻana i nā lau o ka lāʻau hiki ke make.
Hōʻike o ka laha
He ulu lāʻau kēia mea kanu. I ke kūlana makua, hiki i ke kiʻekiʻe o ʻelua mau mika. Hoʻokumu ʻia ia i nā koʻokoʻo mānoanoa e hoʻopili i nā lau naʻau. ʻO nā lau nui loa he 22 kenimika ka lōʻihi. ʻAʻole hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka lāʻau ʻūlū i nā ʻano kāne a me nā wahine. I ka manawa o ka pua ʻana, aia nā pua o nā kāne ʻelua ma nā kumu.
Ma hope o ka pua ʻana, hoʻomaka nā hua e ulu ma kahi o nā inflorescences. ʻAno like lākou i nā hua a hoʻokahi iwi i hoʻopuni ʻia e ka pulp. Hoʻomaopopo ʻia ka berry e kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka wai a ʻano like me ka hua o kahi kumulāʻau mulberry.
Ma hea e ulu ai ka lāʻau nahu?
He mea kanu tropical ia e aloha i nā aniau wela a me ka wela. ʻO ka nohona kahiko ka ʻāina ʻAkelanika, ka Moluccas, a me ka ʻāina ʻo Indonesia.
E like me ka ʻupena, pinepine ka lāʻau ʻū i ka "noho" ma nā wahi o ke kua mua, nā ahi nahele, nā wahi me ka nui o nā lāʻau i hina. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ma nā wahi ākea, i hoʻopiha ʻia e ka lā mālamalama no ka hapa nui o ka lā.
ʻO ka onaona o ke kākalaioa
ʻOiaʻiʻo ua ʻike pākahi kēlā me kēia o mākou i kahi ahi mai ka hoʻopā ʻana i nā nettles. Ma kāna mau kumu he nui nā lauoho lahilahi, a i ka wā e hōʻike ʻia ai iā lākou, e hoʻopuka i nā mea ahi ma lalo o ka ʻili. Hana ka lāʻau ʻū e pili ana i ka mea like, ʻokoʻa wale nō ke ʻano o ke kohu i hoʻokuʻu ʻia.
ʻO ka pā ʻana i nā lau a i ʻole nā koʻokoʻo o kēia ulu lāʻau e alakaʻi ai i kahi lāʻau make ikaika i ka ʻili. ʻAʻole maopopo piha kāna ʻano, akā naʻe, ʻike ʻia ia ke kumu i hoʻokumu ʻia e moroidin, octapeptide, tryptophan a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, a me nā mea kemika.
ʻO ka hopena o ka hana pale o ka lāʻau stinging ikaika loa. Ma hope o ka launa ʻana me ia, hoʻomaka nā wahi ʻulaʻula e hana ma ka ʻili, a laila hoʻohui ʻia i loko o kahi tumo nui a ʻeha loa. Kaukaʻi ʻia i ka ikaika o ke kino a me ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻōnaehana pale, hiki ke ʻike ʻia mai kekahi mau lā a i kekahi mau mahina.
Ma ke ʻano he kūlana, make nā ʻīlio a me nā lio i ke ahi mai kahi lāʻau ʻū, akā ua hōʻike pū ʻia nā make i waena o nā kānaka. Me kēia, hānai kekahi holoholona i nā lau a me nā hua o ke kumulāʻau nahu, me ka hōʻino ʻole ʻole iā lākou iho. ʻO kēia kekahi ʻano o nā kangaro, nā lū a me nā manu.
