The bite actually doesn't kill you, it just shuts down your nervous system so you can't breath.

People if given cpr immediately (kind of need someone to know it's what bit you) till it wears off / get on a ventilator will live.

I remember reading about someone who survived. They got but, and a team started doing cpr. The only issue was his eyes were open the entire time on a hot sunny day. So he was blind after the damage the hot sun did.

So what you're saying is I should take a date to see the blue ring octopus. Then I should get stung and tell them to give me CPR for a few hours or I'll die.

Well, at least you won't be embarrassed for long after she turns you down.
