The magical cone is a sea snail with a cone-shaped shell. It is venomous, so it can sting people, and it lives in warm seas across the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Its venom has produced a powerful painkiller that is used in medicine.1

- Narrow chocolate lines encircle the shell, often broken into separate dots.1
- The middle of the body whorl is usually marked irregularly with white.1
- The spire (the upper part of the shell) is tessellated, or patterned like tiles, in chestnut or chocolate.1
- The pattern and shade of colour vary a lot between individuals.1

Niba itera urubori
- Gupfuka ukanda no kudanyeganyeza (pressure immobilisation): zingira bande ikweduka kandi ifashe neza hejuru y'aho yarumye, hanyuma uzamuke ku rugingo rwose, urushyireho agati ko kurukomeza (attelle), kandi umuntu agume atanyeganyega na gato kugeza ubutabazi buhageze.
- Octopus ifite impeta z'ubururu cyangwa cone snail bishobora gutuma umuntu ahagarika guhumeka nyamara akiri maso: hamagara ubutabazi kandi witegure kumuhumekera mu kanwa kugeza igihe abo mu mbangukiragutabara bagusimbuye.
Buri gihe banza uhamagare nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911). Izi ni inama rusange z'ubutabazi bw'ibanze, si inama za muganga. Ibanze by'ubutabazi bw'ibanze
Irinde akaga
- Ntuzigere ukora, ufata cyangwa ushotora inyamaswa yo mu gasozi, nubwo yaba ntoya, kandi nubwo yasa n'isinziriye cyangwa yapfuye.
- Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
- Niba imwe igutereye urubori: tuza, ntunyeganyege, hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911) cyangwa ujye ku bitaro vuba. Ibuka uko yasaga, ifoto irafasha.
Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Ikoresha ubumara bwayo kugira ngo ifate ibyo kurya cyangwa yirinde, kandi ikunda cyane kwihisha. Ibindi ku kwirinda

Ibintu by'ukuri
A painkiller called ziconotide is made from a chemical derived from this snail's toxin. It is about 1000 times as potent as morphine.1
Ziconotide works by blocking calcium channels in pain-carrying nerve cells, so they cannot send pain signals to the brain. It is injected into the spinal fluid.1
The US Food and Drug Administration approved ziconotide in December 2004, under the name Prialt.1
Dr. Baldomero Olivera at the University of Utah discovered the compound that led to ziconotide.1
