Dangerous blue-ringed octopus found in seafood in Thailand

Featured Replies

Years ago, some friends and I were snorkeling from a boat over the sea grass meadow in Shark Bay. A couple of us were collecting anemone exoskeletons and dropping them in the boat. The mate sitting there suddenly screamed when he found a blue ring crawling on the seat next to his leg. He flicked it out with a knife very nearly landing it on the head of my other mate in the water!

One of us had picked up the octopus hiding in a hole in a skeleton! We were a long way from any medical help, and in those days none of us knew how to keep a person alive if bitten.

 

(Incidentally, that sea grass has been determined to be the largest plant on Earth.

  • And, I'm still waiting to "learn" how to identify it, as it probably won't glow purple or blue when threatened, if it's dead?

  • The Thaiger.  Not worth reading, even if your life may depend on it.

  • I was in an Aquarium shop in Hong Kong and they had some Blue Ring Octopus for sale, I said to the manager of the store that they are very Venomous and if bitten a good chance you could die,

Open  the link from Lapun and see these pics.

But there's a puzzle.. how come no one had reportedly died? Maybe hushed up?

Why do people feel the need to eat such exotic foodstuffs? Typically a Chinese/Asian thing. It’s this wet market messing about with animals that has brought lovely delights like covid19 and gawd knows what else. Leave them be! If you can’t get it up, try viagra of a leech!

 

Can't satisfy a woman I reckon.

Sure the authorities have issued warnings but where are the health inspectors?

 

 

Health inspectors for vendors?       I know you can't be serious.
