Can't prove anything if you're dead!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

*downunder - this is why I don't travel North in the summer.

We don't swim in the ocean here in Cairns, where this was filmed, until stinger season is officially over. That gives us a gap of about 3-4 months in winter to swim, sadly.

Oh, and don't swim in the creeks or rivers either, unless you want to be a croc's dinner.

As an aside, I know Jamie. I had to buy a tin of Milo for the cafe especially for him!

Fuck jellyfish.

Eeeegh.. And all I have to worry about at my local watering hole is the hundreds of leeches that hang around the reeds!

When I was kayaking and snorkeling off the coast of Maui, everyone was feeling pin pricks every 30 seconds or so. They were supposed to just be harmless baby jellyfish all over the place. Every time I'd feel one, I'd immediately look over where I felt it, and saw nothing. Scary that there's Irukandji in Hawaii.

The video didn't mention it, but supposedly going through Irukandji syndrome is pretty much the most painful thing that anyone can experience.

well.... I'm never swimming in the ocean ever again.... ever.

I once put a jellyfish down my shorts while swimming... Not the tender lover I expected.

♫Jellyfish, along you came,
and right away I'm stung.
Sweet words I long to whisper,
But you've paralyzed my tongue.♫

Since I was a kid I've been lobbying my government to launch an attack on Australia. Now I must seem like a prophet.

This is only one of many coastal attacks that my lord and master is sending to the mortal, so-called civilized societies of Earth. Hahaha, fools.

It's like a Miyazaki movie where nature is fighting back against the transgressions of man.

i still like jellyfish

But how do they taste?

Whoa -

One unusual symptom associated with Irukandji syndrome is a feeling of "impending doom". Patients have been reported as being so certain that they are going to die that they beg their doctors to kill them to get it over with.[11] Symptoms generally abate in 4 to 30 hours, but may take up to two weeks to resolve completely.

lets hope it doesnt mix with the fish the swims up your peehole.

Coming to a beach near you! *Dun dun duuuuuuun*

I always preferred the blue ringed octopus. About the size of a golf ball, no anti-venom, and once paralysis sets in, the only treatment is artificial respiration until the venom fades.
