Deadly Seashell Warning: Woman's Close Call Highlights Cone Snail Danger
A recent video shared on social media has highlighted the potential dangers of cone snails, prompting a warning to beachgoers and ocean enthusiasts. In the video, a woman describes her experience while collecting seashells, narrowly avoiding a potentially fatal encounter with a cone snail. "I made a mistake that could have cost me everything," she says in the video. The woman explains that she picked up a shell that was home to a live snail with enough venom to kill 700 people. Cone snails inject their victims with venom using a harpoon-like structure. Experts warn that there is no antivenom for cone snail stings, making prevention crucial. The video serves as a cautionary tale, urging people to exercise caution and avoid handling seashells, particularly cone-shaped ones, while exploring the ocean.
