Description: 1986 Venomous Marine Life Series III - Stamp pack Some of the venoms used by marine animals to disable prey or to protect themselves from other predators can also be dangerous to humans, or even fatal.A tiny box jellyfish, the jimble (Carybdea rastoni) has stinging cells along its tentacles which can cause severe pain and swelling.Fatalities have been caused by the venomous spines of the stonefish (Synanceia trachynis), one of the few marine life venoms for which an antivenom is available.Venom delivered via a tooth on the long flexible snout of the textile cone shell (Conus textile) may also be fatal if appropriate medical aid is not available.The lionfish (Dendrochirus zebra) is protected by venomous spines on its back and belly which can inflict severe pain and nausea.The venomous tail spine of the stingaree (Urolophus cruciatus) produces a ragged wound and may induce nausea, paralysis and delirium.Several people have died from the venom of the strikingly-coloured blue-ringed octopus (Hapalochlaena maculosa), commonly found in shallow waters and rock pools.Known primarily for its controversial effects on the Great Barrier Reef, the crown of thorns starfish (Acanthaster planci) is covered with venomous spines which can induce severe pain, numbness and nausea. Issued 11th June.
