It has caused at least 5,567 recorded  deaths since 1954. Their venom is among the most deadly in the world. It�s  toxins attack the heart, nervous system, and skin cells. And the worst part of  it is that jelly box venom is so overpoweringly painful, that human victims go  in shock, drown or die of heart failure before even reaching shore. Survivors  experience pain weeks after the contact with box jellies.You have  virtually no chance to survive the venomous sting, unless treated immediately.  After a sting, vinegar should be applied for a minimum of 30 seconds. Vinegar  has acetic acid, which disables the box jelly�s nematocysts that have not yet  discharged into the bloodstream (though it will not alleviate the pain). Wearing  ***** hose while swimming is also a good prevention measure since it can prevent  jellies from being able to harm your legs.Jelly box can be found in the  waters around Asia and Australia. <a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank">2. King Cobra</a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://villageofjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/10-most-poisonous-animals-in-the-world-king-cobra2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a>The King Cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the  world�s longest venomous snake - growing up to 5.6 m (18.5 ft) in length.  Ophiophagus, literally means �snake-eater� as it eats other snakes. One  single bite of this deadly snake can easily kill a human. This snake is even  capable of killing a full-grown Asian Elephant within 3 hours if the larger  animal is bitten in a vulnerable area such as the trunk.It�s venom is  not as toxic as other venomous snakes, but King Cobra is capable of injecting 5  times more venom than black mamba and can result in mortality up to 5 times  faster than that of the black mamba. It is quite widespread, ranging across  South and South-east Asia, living in dense highland forests. <a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank">3. Marbled Cone  Snail</a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://villageofjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/10-most-poisonous-animals-in-the-world-marbled-cone-snail.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a>This little beautiful looking Marbled Cone  snail can be as deadly as any other animal on this list. One drop of its venom  is so powerful that it can kill more than 20 humans. If you ever happen to be in  warm salt water environment (where these snails are often found) and see it,  don�t even think of picking it up. Of course, the true purpose of its venom is  to catch its prey.Symptoms of a cone snail sting can start immediately  or can be delayed in onset for days. It results in intense pain, swelling,  numbness and tingling. Severe cases involve muscle paralysis, vision changes and  breathing failure. There is no antivenom. However, only about 30 human deaths  have been recorded from cone snail envenomation. . <a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank">4. Blue-Ringed  Octopus</a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://villageofjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/10-most-poisonous-animals-in-the-world-blue-ringed-octopus.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a>The Blue-Ringed Octopus is very small, only the  size of a golf ball, but its venom is so powerful that can kill a human.  Actually it carries enough poison to kill 26 adult humans within minutes, and  there is no antidote. They are currently recognized as one of the world�s most  venomous animals.Its painless bite may seem harmless, but the deadly  neurotoxins begin working immediately resulting in muscular weakness, numbness,  followed by a cessation and breathing and ultimately death..They can be  found in tide pools in the Pacific Ocean, from Japan to  Australia. 5. Death Stalker  Scorpion<a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://villageofjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/10-most-poisonous-animals-in-the-world-deathstalker-scorpion.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a>Contrarily to the popular belief most of the  scorpions are relatively harmless to humans as stings produce only local effects  (pain, numbness or swelling). However, the Death Starker Scorpion is highly  dangerous species because its venom is a powerful cocktail of neurotoxins which  causes an intense and unbearable pain, then fever, followed by coma,  convulsions, paralysis and death. Fortunately, while a sting from this scorpion  is extremely painful, it would be unlikely to kill a healthy, adult human. Young  children, the old, or infirm (with a heart condition) are at the biggest  risk.Death stalker scorpions are spread in North Africa and Middle  East. <a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank">6.. Stonefish</a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"> <img src="http://villageofjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/10-most-poisonous-animals-in-the-world-stonefish.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>aybe Stonefish would never win a beauty  contest, but it would definitely win the top prize for being �The World Most  Venomous Fish�. Its venom causes such a severe pain that the victims of its  sting want the affected limb to be amputated. It is described as the worst pain  known to man. It is accompanied with possible shock, paralysis, and tissue  death. If not given medical attention within a couple of hours It can be fatal  to humans. Stonefish stores its toxins in gruesome-looking spines that  are designed to hurt would-be predators. Stonefish mostly live above the  tropic of Capricorn, often found in the shallow tropical marine waters of the  Pacific and Indian oceans, ranging from the Red Sea to the Queensland Great  Barrier Reef..         <a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank">7. The Brazilian wandering spider</a><a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"> <img src="http://villageofjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/10-most-poisonous-animals-in-the-world-wandering-spider1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>The Brazilian Wandering Spider (Phoneutria) or  banana spider appears in the Guinness Book of World Records 2007 for the most  venomous spider and is the spider responsible for most human deaths. This  spider is believed to have the most potent neurotoxic venom of any living  spider. Only 0..006mg (0.00000021oz) is sufficient to kill a mouse. They are  also so dangerous because of their wandering nature. They often hide during  daytime in highly populated areas inside houses, clothes, boots, and  cars. Its venomous bite causes not only intense pain, the venom of the  spider can also cause priapism - uncomfortable *****ions lasting for many hours  that lead to impotence.         8. Inland Taipan <img src="http://villageofjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/10-most-poisonous-animals-in-the-world-inland-taipan.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The prize for �The World�s Most Venomous  Snake� goes to the Inland Taipan of Australia.. Just a single bite from this  snake contains enough venom to kill 100 human adults or an army of 250,000 mice.  Its venom is at least 200 - 400 times more toxic than a common cobra. The Inland  Taiwan�s extremely neurotoxic venom can kill an adult human in as little as 45  minutes. Fortunately this snake is very shy and there have been no documented  human fatalities (all known bites were treated with antivenin).         9. Poison Dart Frog<a href="http://www.wowmails.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://villageofjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/10-most-poisonous-animals-in-the-world-dart-frog.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> If you ever happen to be running through the  rain forests somewhere in Central or South America, do not ever pick up  beautiful and colorful frogs - it can be the Poison Dart Frog. This frog is  probably the most poisonous animal on earth.The 2 inch long (5cm) golden poison  dart frog has enough venom to kill 10 adult humans or 20,000 mice. Only 2  micrograms of this lethal toxin (the amount that fits on the head of a pin) is  capable of killing a human or other large mammal. They are called �dart  frogs� because indigenous Amerindians� use of their toxic secretions to  poison the tips of their blow-darts. Poison dart frogs keep their poison in  their skins and will sicken or kill anybody who touches or eats it.         10. Puffer Fish <img src="http://villageofjoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/10-most-poisonous-animals-in-the-world-puffer-fish.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Puffer Fish are the second most poisonous  vertebrate on earth (the first one is golden dart Frog). The meat of some  species is a delicacy in both Japan (as fugu) and Korea (as bok-uh) but the  problem is that the skin and certain organs of many puffer fish are very  poisonous to humans. This puffy fish produce rapid and violent  death..Puffer�s poisoning causes deadening of the tongue and lips, dizziness,  vomiting, rapid heart rate, difficulty breathing, and muscle paralysis. Victims  die from suffocation as diaphragm muscles are paralyzed.. Most of the victims  die after four to 24 hours. There is no known antidote, Most deaths from fugu  happen when untrained people catch and prepare the fish. Statistics show  that there were 20 to 44 incidents of fugu poisoning per year between 1996 and  2006 in all of Japan and up to six incidents per year led to death. Since  Fugu�s poison can cause near instantaneous death, only licensed chefs are  allowed to prepare it.</blockquote>
