"Box Jellyfish"—World's #1 poisonous animal
┗▶ Deaths :-
It has caused at least 5,567 recorded deaths since 1954.
┗▶ Sting :-
While a sting can be extremely painful, that should be the least of your worries as the toxins cause shock and heart failure, which either lead to death or drowning. To top it off, the venom will slowly eat away at the skin.
┗▶ Remedy :-
You have virtually no chance to survive the venomous sting, unless treated immediately. After a sting, vinegar should be applied for a minimum of 30 seconds. Vinegar has acetic acid, which disables the box jelly’s nematocysts that have not yet discharged into the bloodstream (though it will not alleviate the pain).
┗▶ Place of Attack :-
Native to, mainly the waters near Asia, Australia, Japan, Hawaii, and the Phillipines. Most attacks occur when the weather is warm and the ocean is calm, so beware.
┗▶ Precautions :-
Wearing panty hose while swimming is also a good prevention measure since it can prevent jellies from being able to harm your legs.
