Abstract

Authors review height cases of stings by venomous cones observed in New Caledonia. They describe the morphology of the venom apparatus of these attracting molluscs and emphasize the severity of the injuries. Prognosis is the worst in children, and Conus geographus is the most dangerous species of the genus Conus. There is no valuable treatment and prevention is the sole protection.
