"The blue-ringed octopus, despite its small size, carries enough venom to kill 26 adult humans within minutes. Furthermore, 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."
Nasty. Don't work on your tank alone. If you get envenomated your body becomes paralyzed, preventing you from breathing or reacting in any way, but you remain fully aware as you slowly suffocate to death. The venom doesn't kill you though, so if you get assisted breathing for several hours there is a good chance at survival.
thanks for the info, I knew that already. and yea il always have help
