Quote:
In reality, you can't expect local doctors/nurses to know how to treat the venom of a tropical marine animal. Especially since it's not something they're likely to encounter, if this was Fiji or Austrialia... But the vet had a reaction to the sting. Not dissimilar to a reaction to a bee/wasp sting. The story actually contains misleading information, the sting isn't deadly (unless you have a reaction to it), and won't cause long term damage. Speaking from experience, burns like hell. And you spend an awful lot of time explaining to clinic/er staff that all you want them to do is make sure none of the spine is left in the wound, and ensuring it's properly cleaned.

Agreed! Stores should be eld accountable for selling dangerous animals. Speaking of which, BA's has yet another blue ring octopus for sale.
Tsk tsk!

yeh but it is a sale, the stores mostly dont care.I seen guys buying the ringed octopus and the store never said a thing about them whatso ever. I just wish people do their homework on these types of fish and actually all livestock before buying.
