The box jellyfish, incidentaly is the most lethal marine organism as far as humans are concerned… not bad for a critter without any legs or mouth parts.
There are a number of well know jellyfish sting cures though, most of them seem to be an odd way to kick someone when they’re down.

Don’t be fooled- they’re out to get you.
LOL, yeah they are (the cures) pretty wild and unreliable.
We have one jellyfish here that is not as lethal, but it seems to focus mostly on stinging tourists and attacking holly wood sets, so I think it deserves points.
Getting stung by a jellyfish was the single most painful thing that’s ever happened to me.
Any animal that wages war on celebrity is OK by me.
And Franzy, from what I’ve heard it all depends where you get stung.
Not the Irukandji jellyfish, apparently the sting itself is very mild, but the pain is enough to make most ppl beg ofr death. I keep a bucket above my front door for when relatives visit.
I was stung once off the coast of Florida, it wrapped around my arm a couple times. At first I didn’t notice and then I did…. slapped some Aloe Vera on it and went back in the water. Had trouble sleeping that night tho. It was awesome to look at, with these 1in raised burning red gashes across my arm like I’d been whipped. Very cool.
