me tryna find out if this fool died
“The blue-ringed octopus, despite its small size, carries enough venom to kill twenty-six adult humans within minutes. Their bites are tiny and often painless, with many victims not realizing they have been envenomated until respiratory depression and paralysis start to set in.[8] No blue-ringed octopus antivenom is available yet, making it one of the deadliest reef inhabitants in the ocean.”
Holy shit
And this is why I don’t go in the ocean anymore
Also the blue rings literally only show up when it is distressed so this person has angered it!!! You are in danger friend!!!
Actually this guy keeps them as pets they’re on his instagram (william_exotique) and he frequently holds then and I just? Don’t know why? And also every picture or video he posts of them shows the blue rings so they’re always in distress I just do not understand why he’s doing this
#AMY EXPLAIN HOW DUMB THIS GUY IS
I mean OP pretty much covered it. A blue ringed octopus is almost on the level of CONE SNAIL on the list of things you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT PICK UP UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
But ask and you shall receive, On this episode of “Fun Facts With Cuckoo,” DEAD. YOU’RE DEAD. EVERYTHING IS DEAD AND YOU SHOULD NEVER TOUCH ANYTHING IN THE OCEAN EVER AGAIN.
There are many things that will kill you.
[citation needed]
There are fewer, but still many things that will kill you FAST.
There are yet fewer things that kill you fast and by such an overwhelming margin of overkill that nervous laughter is our only solace in the dark of this terrible, surprisingly Lovecraftian world of unearthly horrors that we live in.
Of the things that I know about which will kill you fast via just plain insultingly potent venom, which is a not insignificant number of things because I know a not insignificant number of things, there are about 3 things in the ocean – IN THE WHOLE OCEAN – which are so insanely, mind-bogglingly deadly that there is pretty much no possible hope for survival (I mean you CAN, but god help you if you’re ever in that situation, because god’s just about damn near the only thing that CAN help you). THE. WHOLE. OCEAN.
Those three things are the Irukandji (a tiny (1cm) species of box jellyfish, which has stingers not only on its tentacles but on its BELL, for reasons no one has definitively figured out, and is so toxic despite its size its sting can cause a severe brain hemorrhage), the cone snail (a group of carnivorous sea snails that is accepted to be the most venomous animals on earth, with a STUPIDLY fast acting and extremely powerful neurotoxin that has in at least one case killed a human ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY, because the swimmer who found two beautiful shells (unfortunately cone snails tend to have very pretty shells which makes people want to pick them up) was holding them up for a picture and ended up being stabbed in the neck by not one but TWO cone snails at the same time, and it is believed that she was literally dead before she hit the ground, I mean LITERALLY in a 100% non-fictional and non-exaggerated way, in between the time the two cone snails stabbed her and the time her limp body hit the sand, she was not alive anymore), and the blue ringed octopus.
It is POSSIBLE to survive any of these. But not without immediate medical attention. Of these three, the Irukandji is by far the most treatable, because Australia and other coastal regions (including Florida and other parts of the US) are kind of experienced in dealing with box jellyfish.
The blue ringed octopus will fucking kill you. There’s no antidote for their venom, ONE COMPONENT OF WHICH (tetrodotoxin) is 1200 times deadlier than cyanide. It’s a powerful neurotoxin (most of the worst venoms are because the species that produce them need to kill or at least paralyze their prey quickly, like jellyfish whose fragile tentacles could be damaged if their food doesn’t stop struggling) that attacks the sodium channels and causes muscle paralysis. It doesn’t necessarily kill you quickly. It PARALYZES you quickly, so that you can’t really call for help or describe the problem, and you will probably end up slowly suffocating from a paralyzed diaphragm. Tetrodotoxin can be metabolized by the body in a matter of hours, but it can also kill you in a matter of minutes if you get a lethal dose (which isn’t much, the
LD50
or median lethal dose, the dose at which you have a 50% chance of survival, is only 8 MICROGRAMS per kilogram of body weight (as tested in mice)). This is, by venom standards, not a large amount, which means the animal that is capable of putting this venom inside your body is very very good at killing the absolute shit out of you.
DON’T TOUCH THE BLUE RINGED OCTOPUS.
Now, because overkill is my motto, let me briefly explain why Conus geographus is the undisputed champion of YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE, AND FURTHERMORE FUCK YOU FOR THINKING OTHERWISE.
A cone snail walks into a bar. You’d expect the bartender to ask, “what’s your poison,” but they were paralyzed before they could ask and OH LOOK they’re already FUCKING DEAD ON THE GROUND.
Conus geographus is about 4-6 inches long and nature’s equivalent of Avada Kedavra. Cone snails literally have their own KIND of toxins named after them: conotoxin. Not only is there no antidote, but their venom AGGRESSIVELY RESISTS our ability to find a cure, because we barely understand how it works AND conotoxins are so internally varied, even within a single species, that any one antidote isn’t going to help because they’re constantly mutating and evolving their venom to prevent their prey from evolving a resistance to it. Plus their venom is like, a bunch of different venoms all at once JUST IN CASE any one of them wasn’t good enough.
I want you to read these two sentences from the wiki page on conotoxin:
“Conotoxins have a variety of mechanisms of actions, most of which have not been determined.”
“The LD50 of conotoxin is 50 ng/kg.”
Remember how the
LD50 of tetrodotoxin is 8μg/kg? Conotoxin is 160 times more potent. FIFTY NANOGRAMS PER KILOGRAM HAS A 50% CHANCE OF KILLING YOU. A 220-POUND HUMAN HAS A 50% CHANCE OF SURVIVAL AGAINST JUST 5 MICROGRAMS OF CONOTOXIN.
I DID SOME MATH.
IT WOULD TAKE 7-9 MILLIGRAMS OF CONOTOXIN TO KILL A BLUE WHALE, THE HEAVIEST ANIMAL TO EVER LIVE. (based on weight estimates from 300-400,000 lbs.)
Conus geographus is so fucking deadly that “In two cases of envenomation, only 0.0002-0.0005 mg resulted in severe paralysis.”
THIS THING KILLS STUFF SO HARD THAT BEFORE YOU HEAR THE FIRST “MORTAL KOMBAT” IN THE MORTAL KOMBAT THEME, THERE’S PROBABLY ALREADY BEEN A FATALITY.
And guess what? Cone snails don’t do that NOOB SHIT with the superficial biting or stinging. Your wetsuit or gloves won’t protect you. Because homeboy didn’t bring teeth to evolution’s knife fight. Oh no. It brought a motherfucking radula POISON HARPOON. It’s lightning fast and has way more piercing power than some silly little cnidocytes or salivary bacteria.
Another component of their venom is being researched for its potential as a pain reliever. “WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT????” you might reasonably ask. And you would be right to do so, because science has gone too far and has surely sinned against the very image of Mollusca Kedavra. Well, it turns out the answer is “Research shows that certain component proteins of the venom target specific human pain receptors and can be up to 10,000 times more potent than morphine without morphine’s addictive properties and side-effects.” That’s right, the part of their venom that SPECIFICALLY DOESN’T HURT YOU is up to 10,000 times more potent than morphine.
Also, Conus geographus (along with one other cone snail species, C. tulipa) is the only known non-human animal to weaponize insulin. In addition to the normal insulin that the snails produce for their own use, their bodies manufacture an ADDITIONAL insulin molecule that is similar to the kind produced in fish (which they eat) for the sole purpose of stunning their prey through hypoglycemic shock. BECAUSE APPARENTLY THEY DON’T FEEL LIKE THEY’D KILL YOU HARD ENOUGH OTHERWISE.
IF you are going to survive the ALMIGHTY CONE SNAIL, WHO KNOWS NO FEAR, TRIUMPHANT HEDGEMON OF THE MOLECULAR ARMS RACE, TRUE BORN HEIR TO THE SCYTHE OF DEATH ITSELF, FISHSLAYER, GOD AMONG MOLLUSKS, WHOSE WRATH IS MERCIFUL ONLY IN ITS BREVITY, ADMIRABLE IN ITS BEAUTY AND UNSULLIED BY THE UNWORTHY TOUCH OF MORTAL HANDS OR SCALES OR REALLY ANYTHING IN RANGE OF ITS RADULA HARPOON, then literally the only thing that’s going to save you is for you to be kept alive artificially (externalizing your respiratory functions to force your body to continue breathing, basically) until the effects of the venom wear off. And because of how quickly this venom acts, you need to get that medical attention VERY, VERY FAST.
And if you don’t get it, you will still be conscious while the paralysis slowly suffocates you to death.
Don’t touch the pretty shells.
I’ve never been so intrigued to learn how easily I could be fucking exterminated from existence by the overpowered sea creatures of the world. You’ve done a better job at keeping my attention then any of my teachers ever have.
You know what I’m putting this on the writing blog cause I personally can see potential in some fantasy villain attempting to weaponise cone snailsIn which case, all hail snail king 🐌](https://pics.me.me/thumb_i-should-be-writing-rn-inlovewithaleheather-thecuckoohaslanded-gerbthenerd-alexander-lamington-thelizardprincess-biglawbear-blacksirencry-swag-42750993.png)
![Friends, Future, and Horses: in New York. Emotions, however, remained
venomous even after ten states ratified the
Constitution, and Governor Clinton still thought
civil war possible. One member of the French
diplomatic legation, Victor du Pont, wrote to
Samuel du Pont de Nemours that if the
Constitution faltered in New York, outraged
federalists might pounce on Clinton and his
retinue when they returned home and "smear
them with tar, roll them in feathers, and finally
walk them through the streets."111 On July 17,
Hamilton predicted that New York City might
secede from the state if the Constitution was
turned down; Clinton chided him from his chair
for his "highly indiscreet and improper"
warning.112 Working himself up into a grand
state of pathos, Hamilton summoned the ghosts
of "departed patriots" and living heroes and with
his words wrung tears from onlookers.113
Days later, Melancton Smith finally broke the
deadlock when he endorsed the Constitution if
Congress would promise to consider some
amendments. Paying indirect tribute to
Hamilton, Smith credited "the reasonings of
gentlemen" on the other side for his changed
vote.114 On July 26, Smith and a dozen other
antifederalists switched their votes to favor the
Constitution, producing a wafer-thin majority
The final vote of thirty to twenty-seven was the
smallest victory margin at any state convention
and portended future political troubles for
Hamilton. Governor Clinton would not budge
but tolerated followers who changed their votes.
Anticipating New York's approval, a huge rally
had taken place in New York City three days
earlier to express boisterous enthusiasm for the
new government. It started at eight in the
morning in light rain as five thousand
representatives of sixty trades-from wig
makers to bricklayers, florists to
cabinetmakers-marched down Broadway amid
a profusion of brightly colored floats and
banners. The Constitution might be denounced
as a rich man's plot upstate, but the city's
artisans were now stouthearted federalists and
crafted displays to illustrate the benefits that
would flow from union. The bakers hoisted aloft
a ten-foot "federal loaf," brewers pulleda
three-hundred-gallon cask of ale, and coopers
hauled barrels built with thirteen staves. Many
of Hamilton's friends joined the crowd. Robert
Troup marched alongside lawyers and judges,
brandishing the new Constitution. Nicholas
Cruger, his old employer from St. Croix, donned
a farmer's costume and escorted a plow drawn
by six Oxen.
The parade apotheosized the hero of the hour,
the man who had snatched victory from thee
antifederalist majority. So exuberant was the
lionization of Alexander Hamilton that admirers
wanted to rechristen the city "Hamiltoniana." It
was one of the few times in his life that
Hamilton basked in the warmth of public
adulation. Sail makers waved a flag depicting a
laurel-wreathed Hamilton bearing the
Constitution while an allegorical figure
representing Fame blew a trumpet in the air.
This paled before the grandest tribute of all to
Hamilton. Gliding down Broadway, pulled by ten
horses, was a miniature frigate, twenty-seven
feet long, baptized the "Federal Ship Hamilton."
The model ship rose above all other floats "with
flowing sheets and full sails[.]..the canvas
waves dashing against her sides" and
concealing the carriage wheels moving the ship,
noted one observer.115 The cart men fluttered
banners that proclaimed, "Behold the federal
ship of fame /The Hamilton we call her name; /
To every craft she gives employ; / Sure cartmen
have their share of joy."116 When the Hamilton
arrived near the Battery, it was received by
congressmen standing outside Bayard's Tavern.
To represent the transition from the Articles of
Confederation to the Constitution, the ship
changed pilots amid a deafening cannonade.
The parade marked the zenith of the federalist
alliance with city artisans. Hamilton had never
courted the masses, and never again was he to
enjoy their favor to this extent. Riding high on
the crest of the new Constitution, Hamilton and
the federalists held undisputed sway in the city
November #HAMILDROP:
Here is the moment in Chernow’s book—when Hamilton argued for New York to be part of these new United States—and Hamilton being embraced by his adopted city—that we couldn’t fit in the show.
So I called John Kander and we wrote it together. Stay tuned. https://t.co/wdTtcukaEZ](https://pics.me.me/thumb_in-new-york-emotions-however-remained-venomous-even-after-ten-37692079.png)
