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 panty 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.The TENTH place......with due respectKing Cobra<img src="http://rkmalar.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/2.jpg?w=560&h=425" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />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.Ninth place........  Marbled Cone Snail<img src="http://rkmalar.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/3.jpg?w=560&h=378" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />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.The eighth place won by.....  Blue-Ringed Octopus <img src="http://rkmalar.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/4.jpg?w=560&h=425" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 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.SEVENTH............  Death Stalker Scorpion <img src="http://rkmalar.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/5.jpg?w=560&h=373" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 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. 6. Stonefish <img src="http://rkmalar.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/6.jpg?w=560&h=380" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Maybe 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 5. The Brazilian wandering spider <img src="http://rkmalar.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/7.jpg?w=560&h=400" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 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 erections lasting for  many hours that lead to impotence. 4. Inland Taipan <img src="http://rkmalar.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/8.jpg?w=560&h=380" 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). 3. Poison Dart Frog <img src="http://rkmalar.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/9.jpg?w=560&h=452" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> 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. 2. Puffer Fish <img src="http://rkmalar.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/10.jpg?w=560&h=481" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Finally The WINNER<img src="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs027.snc3/11469_194950596915_194552991915_3517917_6407205_n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The WOMANAble to kill anyone and NO ANTI VENOM Yet........ </blockquote>
