Geography cone
SengatanThe geography cone is a predatory sea snail that lives on shallow tropical reefs in the Indo-Pacific. It hunts small fish. Its venom is strong enough to kill a person, which makes it one of the most dangerous cone snails.1

- Ground colour is pink or violet-white, sometimes reddish1
- Mottled pattern of chestnut or chocolate brown, usually forming two irregular bands1

Apa kesan bisanya?
Its venom is a complex mix of hundreds of different toxins, delivered through the harpoon-like tooth. It has the most toxic sting known among cone snails. Even the most venomous cone snails take about one to five hours to kill a healthy adult, but medical care must still be prompt.1
Berapa bahaya ia kepada manusia?
Bahaya kepada manusia: Membawa mautAntara haiwan paling berbahaya di dunia.There are reports of about 36 human deaths over the past 300 years. Live specimens should be handled with extreme caution.1
Apa yang ia buat apabila takut?
Most of the venom's toxic compounds are believed to be used for defence rather than feeding.1
Jika ia menyengat
- There is no antivenom for a cone snail sting. Treatment consists of keeping the victim alive until the symptoms wear off, so prompt medical care is essential.1
- Imobilisasi tekanan: balut tempat gigitan dengan pembalut elastik secara kukuh, kemudian teruskan ke atas sepanjang seluruh anggota, pasang bidai, dan pastikan orang itu langsung tidak bergerak sehingga bantuan tiba.
- Kurita cincin biru atau siput kon boleh menghentikan pernafasan seseorang ketika dia masih sedar: panggil bantuan dan bersedia memberi bantuan pernafasan sehingga ambulans mengambil alih.

Fakta
Its venom contains a form of insulin, which it uses to stun fish. Once the venom passes through a fish's gills, the fish goes into hypoglycaemic shock (a dangerous drop in blood sugar).1
Apart from the tulip cone snail, no other known living thing is known to use its own biological insulin as a weapon.1
Research shows that some proteins from cone snail venom can be up to 10,000 times more effective than morphine as painkillers, without morphine's addictive properties and side effects.1
Of the venom's 100 to 200 toxic peptides, only 15 to 20 are used for feeding.1
Adult geography cones can fall prey to sea turtles, rays, birds and human shell collectors.1
Pemecah mitos
Mitos: The nickname 'cigarette snail' means a sting gives you just enough time to smoke a cigarette before you die.
Hakikat: This is a gallows humour exaggeration. Even the most venomous cone snails take about one to five hours to kill a healthy human.1
