don't just chop it up:

each segment will grow into a new #hammerheadWorm 😬

the #tetrodotoxin (same neurotoxin in pufferfish) in hammerhead worms is a threat to your cats and dogs

and as R. Scott says, to you:

do *not* handle it

#birds tend to avoid them, but some species can eat it

the threat the hammerhead worms pose to birds' food sources is the greater concern

the current thinking is that birds will not be able to control the hammerhead worm invasion

Dolphins enjoy pufferfish as a recreational drug.

Pufferfish produce a tetrodotoxin - 1,200 times more poisonous than cyanide - which, in small doses, gives dolphins a pleasurable buzz.
