How to Treat Box Jellyfish Stings
Greenopolis The Box Jellyfish sports some of the most toxic venom in the world. And the party doesn’t stop there – their stings are very painful and almost always fatal. The most toxic cousins of this species live in the Indo-Pacific waters. Each of its tentacles has about 500,000 harpoon shaped needles that inject its poisons right into the victims. But not to worry – death from a box jellyfish is rather rare.
