A woman in Washington was left in excruciating pain after being bitten by an octopus while trying to take a unique photo. Jamie Bisceglia decided to pose with the sea creature on her face, but things took a turn for the worse.
Bisceglia described the octopus as feeling “squishy” and “funny” at first, but then it bit her chin, causing intense pain and partial paralysis in her face. She likened the sensation to barbed wire and feared that removing the octopus would cause further damage.
The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of handling wild animals, even seemingly harmless ones. Bisceglia learned this lesson the hard way and now hopes to raise awareness about the risks involved in taking photos with wildlife.
