Cone Snail Sting Treatment

• Immerse the affected area in water as hot as is tolerable.
  
  
• Use the pressure-immobilization technique.
  
  
  • The extremity should be wrapped with a bandage in a style similar to wrapping a sprained ankle.
    
    
  • Bind the limb firmly but do not block the circulation. Fingers and toes should remain pink.
    
    
  • Leave bandages intact until medical care can be reached.
  
  
• Avoid movement.
  
  
• CPR may be necessary. Artificial respiration may save the person's life.
