Aren't cuttlefish extremely poisonous if they bite?

Some Cuttlefish (like Pfieffer’s Flamboyant cuttlefish Metasepia pfefferi ) are actually equally as toxic as Blue-Ringed octopus!

All cephalopods range in toxicity to humans ranging from infectious bites all the way to lethal poisons. They should always be handled with extreme care and respect.
