Blue ringed octopus are commonly found in the shallow rock pools of the inter-tidal zone, hiding amongst the rocks. They can be extremely well camouflaged, only displaying their blue rings when threatened. The bite is usually painless, from a beak under the body. Numbness of the lips and tongue may occur with weakness and breathing difficulty developing rapidly. Severe untreated bites may lead to death. If someone is bitten you should: 1. Contact EMERGENCY TRIPLE ZERO (000) immediately 2. Proceed with CPR if necessary. 3. Apply compression or immobilisation bandaging to the area. 4. Spontaneous breathing usually returns in 3-10 hours.
