“Going to Bali and unknowingly holding one of the most dangerous animals.” It added, “Called my dad crying 3 hours later,” the video was captioned.

“The blue-ringed octopus, despite its small size, carries enough venom to kill 26 adult humans within minutes. Their bits are tiny and often painless, with many victims not realising they have been envenomated until respiratory depression and paralysis begins. No blue-ringed octopus anti-venom is available,” Kaylin shared the information
