The sting of the box jelly fish or the sea wasp – with

its dome shaped bell 10 inches high – contains one of

the world’s most potent poisons.

A sting can cause high temperature, make the victim

go blind, gasp for breath and die – all these in just a

few minutes.

An antidote for this poison does exist – but the poison

acts so fast that a victim has very little chance of

getting treatment in time.
