Does an pigmy octopus bite OR any octopus for that mannor?

Answer 1

If the animal is handled gently, it rarely bites. Octopus bites mostly occur when someone harasses them.
An octopus bite can tear a person's skin, sometimes producing bleeding. The octopus sometimes injects venom from its salivary glands when biting humans.

To avoid octopus bites, don't take the animals out of the water. In the water, don't antagonize them. If you do handle an octopus in the water, wear gloves and be kind. Better yet, don't touch.

An octopus bite usually looks like two puncture wounds. If the animal injects venom, the pain is similar to that of a bee sting, with tingling or pulsating sensation around the wound. Pain may radiate to the entire arm or leg.

Venomous octopus wounds can bleed profusely. Redness and swelling of the affected area is common. Some victims experience intense itching around the wound.

Many octopuses carry venom. None however, contain the potentially lethal tetrodotoxin of Australia's blue ringed octopuses, the only octopuses in the world known to fatally bite humans.

The pygmy octopus will bite if provoked and dependent on the particular pygmy species may have venom.

Answer 2

Octopodes will bite if threatened and the bigger the octopus, the bigger the bite. The most deadly octopus in the world is the blue-ringed octopus found in Australian waters. It is very small - with its tentacles spread it is about as big as a hand. Children play with them unuspectingly as they are very pretty when angry, the blue rings on their skin become brilliant. They can kill you if they bite you but they will leave you alone if you don't bother them.
