Congrats you just found a very rare rubber. You can safely use it as an effective condom.

Don’t ever pick up anything wild that has bright colors!
faerieforce
I was always taught to never mess with any animal with bright colors. Called it warpaint. Possibly means they are poison/venomous.

Read the wiki - Pressure on the bite and artificial resuscitation can save victims of the bite.

As every other time: the blue ring octopus is venomous, so as long as it feels safe, you are safe. It needs to bite.

Aww! A blue ringed coffin filler! So cuuutteee

Just looked it up, apparently he has liver cancer and isn't afraid to die, also the octopus is supposedly in captivity.

I have to believe this is staged. These things are found around Australia, and they don't fuck around with education re: what can kill you.

Easy pic to take, just have your friend ready on the side to chop your arm off if things go sour....

Not chop it off, just have 3 friends ready to breathe for you, until you can be put on a respirator. Tetrodotoxin (though not alone) - NASTY
EvilAbedsBoneSaw
Learned about this in school: the ultimate venom because it's not a protein. Fascinating stuff. Terrifying but still fascinating.

Blue ringed octopi rarely ever bite and usually dry bite. They can be held, but the potential danger isn't worth the low risk.
iNeverCouldGetTheHangOfThursdays
Heard snakes do something similar. What is the reason behind that? Is the venom so valuable for them?
notacobra
Venom is extremely expensive to produce due to the complexity of proteins required. Most will only use it for prey unless it's a last resort
FisterMantastic
Straight up bluffing. Even a small injury in nature can prove to be deadly so a lot of avoiding and chest puffing goes on.
iNeverCouldGetTheHangOfThursdays
That's the point. Why bluffing when you have one of the most potent venoms on planet earth?
FisterMantastic
Because it takes time for the venom to do its work and in that time you can sustain injury that could kill you.
wyrde
only have so much venom. if they can get rid of a threat without using it, it's worth it.
wyrde
there's also the risk of a much larger bite victim killing the snake before the venom neutralizes them
iNeverCouldGetTheHangOfThursdays
So that would assume that the victim understands that it was only a warning, correct?
JackHarkness2132
Has enough venom to kill 26 humans in minutes
tehjeffman
Aw the good old fentanyl weight scale.
QuixoticGoingDjinn
Why does it need that much power? Why is it so ticked off it's going around killing 26 people?
votfgz
26 humans = about 1 elephant seal

Glad someone knew who I was referencing. Bald-headed Manc twat.
Haemp
The venom is called Tetrodotoxin. This is how it works:
orbitn
1) octopus gets mad, 2) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Aquilarden
1) It kills ya
KuramaKitsune
Haemp
1) The mechanism of toxicity is blockage of sodium channels, which are required for transmission of signals between the body and brain
Haemp
2) As a result loss of sensation, and paralysis of voluntary muscles including the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, stopping breathing
Haemp
3) Basically you suffocate internally - have a great day!
BOOMelephantnutsBADDUMBUM
Don’t mind me just imagining how terrifying that would be

AidanPrydeCork
As of 2018 no blue-ringed octopus antivenom is available.
StealTow
better have it in your pocket.
AwkwardKeming
Sorry guys, but it's super tasty and it was sitting right there. My bad.
Loquatsandwildhoney
Not exactly a death sentence. With medical care, the body will simply excrete the venom. Most common cause of death is respiratory failure.
eehj
How is that not a death sentence? Restricted airways is kinda a people-killer
Loquatsandwildhoney
Guess you just glanced over the medical care part huh? It's not your fault.

That means we now have minus antivenom.
SpaceTurd69
LordofSandvich
There's no antivenom because it's not a protein. Tetrodotoxin, pretty much the go-to poison for killing predators.
lospaturno
not that you could have the time to inject it anyway.
thedarkdesert
However your liver is capable of metabolising it fairly quickly. The treatment is just to put you on a ventilator until the paralysis (1/2)
CalgakisPictland
I thought adrenaline shots helped prevent the heart from stopping to increase survival time but could be wrong
thedarkdesert
(2/2) wears off and you can breathe on your own again. Pretty sure that takes less than a day.
WardSharlow
Sounds like Curare. So, you gotta hope somebody is willing to give you CPR for the next few hours?
Tarlon
Problem is getting you to a ventilator quickly enough.
thedarkdesert
Pretty much, yeah. There's manual alternatives, but that only works if you're not alone when you get bitten. Thats the bit that kills people
JHawke
Took me a while to realise what you meant with ventilator.... that's what we call fans >_>
manslut
I'd've called it a Respirator. It respirates.
FrancoUnAmerican
me too bro, me too. I was wondering why the fan would help...
thedarkdesert
Haha. I did not know fans were sometimes called that.
JHawke
Is ok, we didn't know those breathing apparatus were called ventilators :p (or apparently a hole in the wall....)
lovefromAustralia
Fucking what
larrytheunvaccinatedliberal
Dude not to mention there venom will kill you in like less than a day IF YOU’RE LUCKY
RelevantImgurian
THEY DED
UnremarkablyInteresting
The venom paralyzes you to the point that you are unable to breathe
MaladaptedMedic
You can’t counteract the effect of the venom. Patient gets put on a ventilator and then you just gotta wait for the venom to clear the body.
mfizz1e
AS OF 2018 NO BLUE-RINGED OCTOPUS ANTIVENOM IS AVAILABLE

Their venom is a complex neurotoxin, it's proving difficult to cure

Mostly dark still. From what I have read, death by blue-ring is fairly horrific.

Ahh, the blue-ringed octopus; with a venom 10 times more potent than cyanide. Would you like to know more?
pollomagnifico
No, I would like to unsubscribe from fuckin terrifying nature facts.
JudgeMentaI
BozoThePie
Maybe. Does hunting them down guarantee citizenship?
Mistruths
cyanide isn't a venom, so it's infinitely more venomous than cyanide.
Sexius007
True but "a venom 10 times more potent..." does not imply that cyanide is venom but the lethal dose of venom is 10% of a lethal cyanide dose
wileypdf
Yes please but ill google it. Post your knowledge for upvotes anyways!!
Tarlon
Ahh it was just a Starship Troopers reference. Don't worry, I'm not greedy.

1,200 times more potent

I wonder if like other species they are more venomous as babes than adults. Anyone know?
theBOULDERslide
Some snakes cant control their venom as babies. Scorpions also
Sexius007
Wikipedia says 26 human adults
Armaunia
Well I suppose information changes as we learn more, and it has been 14 years since high school.
Penpadence
Well humans have become softer so
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
Well in 14 years the octopus has grown quite a bit, so that’s why there’s more.
