Man holds deadly octopus in bare hands. Internet horrified at viral video

An unsuspecting tourist had a very close call with death after he accidently held a venemous blue-ringed octopus in his bare hands.
The horrifying video, uploaded on Reddit, is now going viral on social media, leaving viewers shocked.
The deadly blue-ringed octopus is infamous for its paralysing venom, which can shut down the muscles required for movement and effectively kill a person.
The viral video shows tourist holding a blue-ringed octopus in their palm for a little while, before letting it go into water.
In the video, the octopus at first does not leave the person's palm and is stuck to it, but after a few seconds it leaves and goes into the water.
The way the person holds the octopus completely unaware of the potential danger, has left the social-media users shocked.
The video was originally uploaded on Tik-Tok, a video-sharing app, and later was shared on Reddit by user 'u/azymaris' recently, from where it went viral.

The video has since then garnered over 20,000 upvotes and countless comments from Redditors. While some were just horrified by the video, others posted about the deadly venom the octopus carries.
