Speaking about the poisonous creatures of the planet, snakes, scorpions, and spiders are most often remembered. However, this list is far from complete. A huge number of creatures have highly toxic poisons in their arsenal, from which salvation should not be expected.
Instructions
Step 1
It is believed that the most deadly poison is in the box jellyfish, which got its name from the unusual shape of the body in the form of a cube. According to researchers, over the past 60 years, it has struck with its poison at least 6 thousand living beings, including humans. The venom of this jellyfish paralyzes the heart and nervous system. The worst thing is that it delivers such severe pain that a person can drown in a state of shock from a bite or die from cardiac arrest.
Step 2
In two minutes, a blue ring-shaped octopus can take the life of 26 adults. It has a very small size, about the size of a golf ball, but at the same time is such a poisonous and dangerous creature that it is better not to meet with it. There is no antidote against its poison.
Step 3
A very dangerous killer is hiding under the beautiful and cute appearance of the marble snail. A small drop of its poison can kill 20 people, there is no antidote. True, no more than 30 cases are known when a snail took the life of people, but this does not make it less dangerous.
Step 4
The stone fish looks very frightening, probably, no one wants to look at it closer, especially if you know that it is one of the most poisonous fish in the world. Her bite provokes such severe pain that a person has nothing against amputation of the affected limb without anesthesia.
Step 5
The sea snake is more venomous than its land cousins. True, she is usually calm, but during the mating period she can become aggressive and attack for no reason. It is especially dangerous that her bite is not sensitive. A person may not feel that he has become a victim of a sea inhabitant, and continue to swim for some time. But after a few minutes, he will have convulsions, up to respiratory arrest and paralysis.
Step 6
The poisonous frog, or poison dart frog, is distinguished by its small size and beautiful colors, as well as a high content of poison. Ancient tribes smeared arrowheads with the venom of these frogs to defeat their enemies.
Step 7
Fugu fish, so popular in the Japanese smithy, is so poisonous that 60% of those poisoned with its meat cannot be saved. Even the smallest dose of poison in the tissues of a fish, when it enters the human body, blocks sodium channels in the nerve endings. There is no antidote, the treatment is symptomatic.
Step 8
The blood of the leaf beetle larva, which lives in South Africa and is a relative of the Colorado potato beetle, contains the strongest poison. It is capable of disrupting the electrolyte balance in the human body, destroying red blood cells, and reducing the hemoglobin level to a minimum. There is no antidote.
