  • Everything in this Aquarium can KILL YOU! - Locked behind steel gates in Cairns, Australia, this Venom Lab at James Cook University keeps the world's most venomous aquatic creatures. I took a tour to learn more about these deadly species including: Box Jellyfish, Irukandji, Stone Fish, Cone Snail, Blue Ringed Octopus and Mantis Shrimp.

    Also important to know that the application of vinegar upon the stung area does NOTHING for the pain of a Box jelly sting. The stinging cells known as nematacysts's even after detaches from the animal itself, can deliver secondary stings as the detached tentacles can continue to fire off. Hence the use of the vinegar, all it does is neutralise the nematacysts rendering them unable to deliver any more stings in order to remove tentacle fragments safely from the stung limb/area.

      @@samoak123 It really doesn't do anything, certainly not for the pain. But something in everyday household vinegar neutralizes the stunning cells, to prevent them from both firing off secondary stings & to render them virtually harmless so any tentacles still clinging to flesh can be removed, that's it. Vinegar does nothing for the pain. Ben Cropp a famous Australian marine biologist/photographer has a fascination with Chironex flekeri & tested piss among other known remedies & it did nothing for the pain either. I have heard that piss is supposed to be good for less harmful marine stingers, like blue bottles etc.

      Handling it isn't a guarantee to be bitten but yeah, if you were, you wouldn't be here. One problem is that their bite is so painless that you might not notice, and just suddenly collapse a few minutes later, as the venom paralyzes you. There's no antivenom.

    Several years ago, I stepped on a stonefish during holidays. It felt as if receiving a massive thunder bolt shock, I have been stabbed by jellyfish many times before and this is uncomparable. The jellyfish are like slow but intense burning sensation, while the stonefish hit me so hard that I couldn't even go out of water. Hopefully I was with a friend and when he heard me yell and he saw me almost drowning because of the pain, he helped me get out of the water. In just a few minutes, I was sweating hard, I had a hot fever and my foot swelled to twice its size.
    Once we reached the sand of the beach, he brought me to the closest lifeguard. I lost consciousness a bit later, and I woke up the next day in an hospital room. My friend explained me what happened when I was out, and he told me that the lifeguard saved my life. He wasn't sure what happened to me he just knew that I have been hit by smthg in the right foot, stonefish are extremely rare so he thought it was a jellyfish (pretty common here), but he still checked my foot and did all the necessary steps in case it wasn't a jellyfish. He cut a big chunk of flesh on the palm of my foot where I got it because if it really was a stonefish, he wasn't sure if I the needle was still inside or not. After that, he gave me painkillers, different antivenin for the most probable animals that could have poisoned me and brought me to the closest hospital.
    This was the worse thing I have ever experienced, and since then I always wear plastic shoes when swimming. I also developed a paranoid fear of deep water, even tho I always loved scuba diving, since this happened I never went to far and I always check where I put my feet on the sand when going back.
    Before the end of my holiday (I spent a whole week at the hospital), I invited the lifeguard that saved me to a pub and we drank until the next morning. After that, we became friend (I learned he was working here for summer but he came from a place next to where I lived) and even until now we are still in contact. He even invited me at his marriage, and I always told him that I had a debt for what he did and as the doctor said if he didn't act so quickly and he didn't took the right decisions, I would have been dead. In fact, giving my age at the time it happened it was already a miracle I could survive this.

      The stingers does not move as much as they flow after the head movement so if you are infront you can easy grab it.
      I do compressor diving at night for a living :p im very used to jellyfish.
      Also im a bit skeptical about the 90 sec it does sting like hell once u get hit and if it has any size to it it gives you nasty scars and the flesh looks like it have melted away in that area. But if you manage to get vinegar on it within a few min you wont even get a scar it takes a lil while for it to actually show any tissue damage.
      Many i know have several dec long scars. Death i know can happen but im sure it takes a bit longer. The "tentacles" stick to everything and the jellyfish let them go so once u move it new needles get shoot into your skin. Therefore once stung people usually rub their body with sand and put venigar.
