TOP MOST VENOMOUS FISH - Snorkeling Myanmar
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VENOM AND POISON
VENOM vs POISON
SCRIPT OPEN:
My Buddy Ben and I were heading to a remote resort island in Myanmar in search of pristine coral reefs. [map]
In three afternoons we were able to document an abundance of sea creatures, exotic wildlife and… the latest trending German swim wear fashions. [Burmese girl blushes]
Our guide Sam offered to give us a personal tour of all the best reefs, and beaches around Nyaung Oo Phee Island. The only catch was that we had to share the tour with these 4 other people. [girls modeling]
Among the plethora of vibrant fish species and alien ocean creatures we saw many of the worlds top most VENOMOUS and POISONOUS animals in the sea… including the TOP THREE MOST VENOMOUS FISH in the WORLD.
VENOM & POISON:
Many people confuse venom and poison. Or assume they mean the same thing. They are both toxic substances. The main distinction is the method of delivery. Poison gets into the body if you touch it, swallow it, or inhale it. A venomous animal has a means of actively injecting their toxin into you, with fangs or stingers, etc.
This sea snake is venomous.
and this scorpion is venomous.
and the barb on this stingray’s tail is venomous.
If you touch the secretion on a tiger salamander and then rub your eye, you’ll be in a world of temporary pain. I learned this the hard way. So, many salamanders are poisonous.
The fangs on this blue tarantula can inject you with venom.
Glands on this toad’s skin are poisonous.
The stinger on this bee is venomous,
And If you gobble down this pufferfish or this porcupine fish, you will have ingested a potent neurotoxin. And so, these fish are poisonous.
Now that you know the difference, lets get down to the top 3 most venomous fish in the world.
SCORPION FISH
The first location Sam took us to was a rock poking out of the ocean. The sides of this little island were coral covered walls that descended straight down… Forever. This was an excellent location to search for sea creatures and compete who could free dive the deepest. Our new friend Sea always won.
Here, we found the 3rd most venomous fish in the world… The Scorpion Fish.
Scorpion fish have crazy camouflage as they patiently await to ambush smaller prey swimming by. Their fins are equipped with venomous spines and If you’re clumsy enough to get pierced by em, there’s a long list of various pains and symptoms you’ll get to experience.
[funny list of symptoms]
LION FISH
The 2nd most venomous fish in the world was spotted at the 2nd location Sam took us to. A rocky sea floor, covered with corals, urchins and anemones. As Sea was scouting the depths, like she does, she spotted a Lion Fish.
Lion fish and scorpion fish are closely related, but this one is much more flamboyant. If you get stung, Like the Scorpion fish, there’s a long list of various pains and symptoms… but worst.
[funny list of symptoms]…but worse
JELLYFISH
If you touch a jellyfish, you may get a sudden painful sting. So it’s poisonous right? Wrong. Under a microscope you’ll see that a jellyfish tentacle is covered with nematocysts… Tiny spring loaded harpoons explosive to the touch.
Anemones also have nematocysts and like jelly fish, use them to paralyze prey or defend themselves. But some fish are immune to these booby traps.
STONE FISH
The third location Sam took us to was a vacant beach paradise.
Alone in all this pristine beauty, it’s easy to let your guard down. But all wildernesses demand respect. Lurking below your feet here is a master of disguise and the most venomous fish in the world. The stone fish! If you step on a stone fish, It’s serious and there’s a good chance you’ll get a ride in a helicopter. Symptoms are similar to that of the scorpion fish and the lion fish, but way, WAY worse.
[funny list of symptoms]… but way WAY worse
WRAP
Every coral reef worldwide has its share of venomous and poisonous creatures that deserve your respect. Even if you don’t know what to look for, Or if you do and you’re just distracted by the scenery. [pretty girls]
The odds of getting tagged by any of these gems defending themselves is extremely slim. The only REAL discomfort you’re likely to experience here is a broken heart from one of these girls.
(Darth Vador “NOOOoooooo!”)
We’d like to send an extra special “jay - sue - tim - bah - day” to Sam and ALL the wonderful staff at the Victorian Cliff Resort on Nyaung Oo Phee Island. Thank you for this unforgettable… dream vacation in Myanmar.
BEE, BEN, NAT - ’til next time friends… Happy Trails.
