Octopus Injects Venom Into Washington Woman's Face When She Poses With It For Goofy Photo Op

"You played yourself."

That's what people are saying to Washington fisherwoman Jamie Bisceglia after she put an octopus on her face for a photo competition during a fishing derby.

The little guy ended up latching onto her with its tentacles before biting her, injecting its venom.


Bisceglia described the wound as a mess of blood and pus that forced her to check herself into the hospital two days later.

Take a look at the photos below and wonder:

"Was it worth it?"

Bisceglia ended up regretting the photo op.

"They took me in stat, but the IVs didn't work and my arm swelled up like an elephant."

It sounds as though she might have learned her lesson.

"I want people not to do what I did. My advice is, know what you're touching beforehand."

Uh...

Giphy

People weren't exactly sympathetic.





Some are even nominating her for a Darwin Award.




Bisceglia is a veteran fisher, but hopefully this experience will teach her to be careful which animals she puts on her face.

And she may want to watch out for this...

This adorable little guy, available here, is perfect for giving face hugs! He even comes with his own egg.

Tucker Carlson Dragged After His Conspiracy Theory Prediction About Trump's Speech Is Way Off

Former Fox News personality turned far-right podcaster Tucker Carlson was widely mocked after he made a bold prediction about what President Donald Trump would announce during his primetime address to the nation on Wednesday—namely that the U.S. would go to war with Venezuela.

But it turns out Carlson was very, very wrong. The speech was nowhere near that consequential and Trump spent the majority of it complaining about former President Joe Biden.
