I've been stung by one of these on my foot while surfing. It was painful. Painful enough for me to get out of the water and call it a day.
The man in the photograph with his limb covered must have had an awful day.
- pvaldes 2y agoMore than a bad day. We should assume that those marks left permanent scars. I had spotted visible marks on a leg, five years after a mild encounter.
- smoyer 2y agoI was stung on the stomach and side ... It bent me over in the water then somehow I crawled up the beach and laid down.
- andrewinardeer 2y agoI was stung 25 years ago by a box jellyfish. The suicidal tendacies petered out after only 24 months.
- blacklion 2y agoExcuse me of my question is unpleasant for you, but why do you have suicidal tendencies for 2 years? Is it objective property of box jellyfish venom (like some medicine can induce suicidal thoughts) or it is because it was painful for whole 24 months?
- pvaldes 2y agoBox jellyfishes are on a different level. Jellyfish on steroids level of sting.
- blacklion 2y agoI know (fortunately from BBC documentaries and other sources, not from first-hand experience), but 24 months?
- andrewinardeer 2y agoThe pain of the sting made me want to kill myself to end it.
