"As an octopus biologist, I get a call from the media every summer because
someone has had an encounter with a blue-ringed octopus. Thankfully, everyone
has been OK.

Blue-ringed octopus are famed for being one of the most venomous animals on the
planet, and the symptoms from a bite are the stuff of nightmares. But how
worried do you need to be?"
