According to a post by the ambulance company, the woman was swimming when she picked up a shell containing a small blue octopus.

The EMS company said that when the octopus fell out of its shell, it bit the woman twice in the abdomen.

NSW Ambulance Inspector Christian Holmes said: “Blue-ringed octopus bites are a rare call for us, but they are extremely venomous.” “The patient was experiencing some abdominal pain around the site of the bite, so paramedics applied pressure and treated for further symptoms before transporting him to the Royal North Shore Hospital.”

In fact, The Ocean Conservancy stated that the octopus, which is about the size of a golf ball, has enough venom to kill 26 humans in minutes.
