Friends who go diving must be very careful.
Akiritlin sea snake: Second venomous sea snake of the ocean
The Akiritlin sea snake is also known as the blue-ringed sea snake, a highly venomous sea snake that is no less toxic than the blue cobra. Australians seem to always live under the shadow of various toxins because this snake also lives in the waters of Australia, and it is a neighbor of the Australian box jellyfish.
The venom of this sea snake is mainly neurotoxin and myotoxin. One detoxification can kill dozens of adults in a single dose, and it can be fatal within minutes. Snakes that secrete neurotoxin generally have a shorter lethal time than those that secrete blood toxin. When bitten, muscles will rapidly paralyze, respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, and finally the venom will spread throughout the body and die.
It is worth mentioning that as long as humans do not provoke sea snakes, sea snakes will generally not bite people. Sea snakes are generally docile, and they do not have territorial divisions. Terrestrial snakes will protect their territories, so their temper will be very irritable. The ocean is endless for sea snakes, so sea snakes are deadly, but the records of humans dying from them are much lower than those of terrestrial venomous snakes.
