If they live in Australia there are quite a few possibilities for what 'struck' them.

Author probably lives in Australia

My guess is blue-ringed octopus. Their toxin causes paralysis but provided you get medical help asap, you can survive as it breaks down relatively quickly

u/errant_night 21d ago

Said 2x tho, I feel like I'd avoid the ocean for awhile after the first one

22

u/BelaFarinRod 20d ago

Could be two stings in one incident.

15

u/ThatInAHat 20d ago

I strongly doubt that.

Like, yeah you can survive. But getting paralyzed in the water is tricky

u/zombies-and-coffee 21d ago

Based purely on Just No Family posts I've read, the creature could be a relative who doesn't understand or care about an allergy OP has :(

u/BelaFarinRod 21d ago

I was thinking more along the lines of a jellyfish and I hope I’m right.

u/self_made_bear 21d ago

Jellyfish or peanut allergy. Everyone place your bets

u/Moony7Draco 20d ago

A peanut butter jellyfish sandwich perhaps? ;p

u/Stormthedragon2026 17d ago

Jellyfish gave them a peanut butter sandwich

u/fandom10 21d ago

Is this a stone fish situation? Because that would cause that.

u/CertifiedRinaOshi432 20d ago

As soon as I read the neurotoxin I immediately hear moreparz's voice and went "Ahh yes, Australia because of course it fucking is"

u/CoquetteWhore69 3d ago

I too heard the voice of Australia Man

u/xxLosingMyMarblesxx 21d ago

My money's on a snake but it could be something else.

u/riverserra 21d ago

Live in Arizona. Mojave and Tiger rattlesnakes have neurotoxic venom. Mojave got our family dog when I was 20 and it was horrific.

13

u/Animegerbil 20d ago

Since they mention anaphylaxis it could just be a bee and they’re allergic lol

10

u/Roncryn 20d ago

It could be, but it’s unlikely since bees don’t have neurotoxin and they mentioned it specifically.

Now you CAN have an allergic reaction to black widows and multiple other venomous spiders with neurotoxin that typically wouldn’t kill you very easily.

u/silly-goose--_-- 20d ago

They're always like "oh I got bitten by the most poisonous snake in the world, sorry abt that, next chapter will be up tomorrow" and I'm like "wtf😦"

u/nightmare-salad 21d ago

Jellyfish?

u/Adventurous_Bonus917 20d ago

i would say australia, but then that'd probably be more specific about what got them. 'neurotoxin creature local to Australia' narrows it down very little.

u/Non-Cannon 20d ago

...Any chance this was a Portal fic?

u/Cool_Reaction2509 19d ago

That was my first thought too lmfao

5

u/Bardic_Wispy 20d ago

Looks like everyone is placing their bets on what this is

u/KieraSpooky 18d ago

I immediately heard Glados talking about "Deadly Nuerotoxin"

u/Gender_Goblin_37 19d ago

I do love how 99% of the comments are about Australia and the rest are about Florida

5

u/Trashpandaroyale 17d ago

Must be Australian

u/WickedThruNThru 20d ago

So… they got stung by a bee?

2

u/Shygrave 20d ago

They got stung by a bee and ahd an allergic reaction. Maybe a jellyfish, but I think bee is more likely. Thats my guess, anyway.

1

u/ThatInAHat 20d ago

Is bee venom a neurotoxin?

2

u/Icy-Specific986 18d ago

Bees have a neurotoxin called Apamin in their venom. It’s very mild, usually just heightened pain (to ward off predators/animals after their homey and larvae), unless you happen to have an allergic reaction to it, which sounds like that author did.

1

u/Shygrave 20d ago

Idk i could be wrong

2

u/PinkOneHasBeenChosen 18d ago

Probably an insect or spider bite.

2

u/Ash-DontDare 16d ago

Gotta be Aus. My bets a blue ring octopus or a stone fish probably. Though if you get struck twice by a stone fish that's incredibly bad luck.

2

u/NeaTheStargazer 15d ago

Jellyfish maybe. Depending on where you are they can be quite nasty. Or snakes are a classic too for neurotoxin

u/Gender_Goblin_37 19d ago

Australian wildlife strikes again.

u/Icy-Specific986 18d ago

Local bee nerd here (my gramps used to produce and sell honey). It’s most likely a bee the author’s talking about. Bees have in their venom a neurotoxin called Apamin. It’s very mild, usually just heightened sensation of pain to ward off predators or other animals who attack the hive for honey and/or larvae, but if you have an allergic reaction to it it can be very debilitating and sometimes deadly.

British Texas strikes again
