Textile cone

Conus textile

可能致命不治療的話可能會害死你。如果牠螫了你，要趕快求救。

螫吃：肉

The textile cone is a venomous sea snail. It is a mollusc with a patterned shell, and it hunts other snails at night. It lives in warm seas around Africa, Australia and the Pacific, and it can sting people, so it is important to know it.1

It lives in estuaries, on rocky shores and in rockpools. During the day it is usually buried in sand, and it comes out to feed at night.1

牠吃什麼？

It eats other snails, such as cones and cowries. It uses a radula, a microscopic harpoon-like tooth on a proboscis (a tube at the front of the body), to inject venom that kills its prey.1

怎麼認出牠

Shell is yellowish brown with wavy brown lines.1
Triangular white spaces sit between the brown lines and form bands.1
The shell opening (aperture) is white.1
Typical adults have shells about 9 to 10 cm long, and the largest reach 15 cm.1

毒液力量

螫

毒液從螫針出來。

牠的毒液有什麼作用？

Its venom is a conotoxin, a mix of toxins injected through the harpoon-like radular tooth. The venom contains the neurotoxin RPRFamide, which attacks the nerves.1

牠對人有多危險？

對人的危險: 非常危險如果沒有治療，牠可能會害死一個人。

Several human deaths have been attributed to this species. A 2004 report linked about 30 human deaths to cone snails as a group. Live animals should be handled carefully or not at all, and anyone handling one without protecting exposed skin is at risk.1

如果牠螫人

加壓固定法：用彈性繃帶緊緊包住咬傷處，再往上包住整條手臂或腿，用夾板固定，並讓傷者完全不動，直到救援抵達。
藍環章魚或芋螺會讓人在意識還清醒時就停止呼吸：馬上求救，並準備好做人工呼吸，直到救護人員接手。

一定要先打緊急電話（112、000、911）。這是一般急救指引，不是醫療建議。急救基本知識

注意安全

絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物，就算是很小的動物，就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
給牠空間。如果遇到了，保持冷靜，慢慢往後退，讓牠自己離開。
如果被牠螫了：保持冷靜，保持不動，打緊急電話（112、000、911）或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子，有照片會很有幫助。

牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己，而且牠更想躲起來。更多安全知識

值得知道

小知識

Its shell pattern is made by natural cellular automata, and it resembles Wolfram's rule 30 pattern.1

The pigment cells that make the pattern sit in a narrow band along the shell's lip, and each cell responds to its neighbours.1

Its proboscis can reach any part of its own shell.1

In Australia it is most common in northern Queensland, but sightings are spreading south into New South Wales as ocean temperatures warm with climate change.1

Its larvae drift in the current for about 16 days before settling on the bottom of the sea.1
