Geography cone
The 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

Agar nish ursa
- 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
- Bosim bilan harakatsizlantirish: chaqilgan joy ustidan mahkam elastik bint oʻra, keyin butun qoʻl yoki oyoq boʻylab yuqoriga oʻrab chiq, shina qoʻy va yordam kelguncha odamni butunlay qimirlatmay tut.
- Koʻk halqali sakkizoyoq yoki konus shilliqqurt odam hali hushida boʻlgan paytda uning nafasini toʻxtatib qoʻyishi mumkin: yordam chaqir va tez yordam kelib, ishni oʻz qoʻliga olguncha sunʼiy nafas berishga tayyor tur.
Har doim avval favqulodda yordam raqamiga qoʻngʻiroq qil (112, 000, 911). Bu birinchi yordam boʻyicha umumiy maslahat, tibbiy maslahat emas. Birinchi yordam asoslari
Xavfsiz boʻl
- Hech qachon yovvoyi hayvonga tegma, uni tutma yoki jigʻiga tegma, hatto kichkina boʻlsa ham va hatto uxlayotgan yoki oʻlik koʻrinsa ham.
- Unga joy ber. Agar duch kelsang, xotirjam boʻl, sekin orqaga chekin va uni oʻz yoʻliga ketishiga qoʻy.
- Agar biri senga nish ursa: xotirjam boʻl, qimirlamay tur, favqulodda yordam raqamiga qoʻngʻiroq qil (112, 000, 911) yoki tezda kasalxonaga yet. U qanday koʻrinishda ekanini eslab qol, surat yordam beradi.
U seni ovlamoqchi emas. Zaharini ovqat tutish yoki oʻzini himoya qilish uchun ishlatadi va yashirinishni ancha afzal koʻradi. Xavfsiz qolish haqida batafsil

Faktlar
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
Afsonalarni fosh qiluvchi
Afsona: The nickname 'cigarette snail' means a sting gives you just enough time to smoke a cigarette before you die.
Haqiqat: This is a gallows humour exaggeration. Even the most venomous cone snails take about one to five hours to kill a healthy human.1
