Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

I recently posted questions regarding venomous coneshells.  I got an
excellent reply from  Giancarlo Paganelli coneshell@VIRGILIO.IT  for answering many
questions regarding venomous coneshells.  His excellent website is highly
recommended.  I still have two unanswered questions.  What are the precautions one
must take when cleaning recently killed cones?  (Is the venom still potent?)
While in the sea, can the coneshells harpoon be shot out of its body?  This
might be a silly question, but I would still like to know.

Thank you.

David
