C’est un coquillage venimeux. Son poison extrêmement puissant peut tuer un humain en cinq minutes et il n’existe aucun antidote efficace, ce qui fait de cette espèce l’un des cônes les plus dangereux.

Based on a report in 2004, about 30 human deaths have been attributed to cone snails. In 2021, a Queensland teen nearly died after picking up a live textile cone.
