YOU Won’t Survive Touching THESE Jellyfish! 

Do they cause deaths like the box jellyfish?

@colbie472 nah box jellies are definitely more lethal. Their in the same family so they have similar symptoms though so neither are pleasant to say the least. Irukandji are so small, the size of a thumbnail, so unless you see it happening, you won't even know you've been stung until symptoms start, where box jellies you will know immediately.

Damn, sounds like you're sensitive to it. I've been stung by the Portuguese man 'o war about a dozen times and it's never left a mark on me...I just unwrap the tentacles and rub sand on it. But then again my family grew up fishing in Hawaiʻi so we're used to it. Anyway, I'm glad you recovered and are okay.

@@SeanShimamotothanks so much

Actually, they are related to the box jellyfish.

ohh that’s why I got mixed up.. I told my friend that jelly fish was the box one lol, ig close enough!!

@@jellyfish167 The term "box jellyfish" is not the name of a particular species of jellyfish, instead it is an umbrella term...it includes any and all jellyfish whose body is box-shaped...the irukandji has that box-shaped body, ergo it's a box jellyfish. It is also the smallest and most potent of all box jellyfish. To be more accurate, there are currently 51 species of box jellyfish. Think of it like the word "tuna"...it's an umbrella term for all fishes in the tuna family. Including species like the Atlantic bluefin tuna, the pacific bluefin tuna, the yellowfin tuna, the skipjack tuna, etc. Just like box jellyfish, these different tunas vary widely in weight from just 50 pounds up to over 1,000 pounds...but also like the box jellyfish, all tunas have the same basic body shape. Hope that helps. Aloha from Hawaiʻi! 😄🤙🏽

@@SeanShimamoto Ohhhhh thanks! I didn’t know that!

Story: so I was at the beach in Zambales (in the Philippines) and me and my family was peacefully swimming and I remember my dad carrying me and my sister to the uh the part where we cannot reach a little and then saw this jellyfish roaming around and then my dad got a lil close to it, and yes that was my first time seeing a Jellyfish. When we got back to the land, they were busy doing something like, playing, taking picture and etc and me, as a curious little dumb kid, I saw this boat that is close by, so yea I was walking in the ocean (where I can reach and the ocean is half my size while J was walking in it) so while walking it, I was getting close and close and then boom a jellyfish grabbed my legs, I was so fucking scared man to the point I slapped that damn thing so many times and yea it also stung my finger, and then it's off, and after that I ran to the land crying. Me and my fam had to go back to the house, it was a bit far away eh so ye. After we got their they wanted to pour vinegar on it, but yes as a scared little kid I didn't want to do that so yea but a few minutes later they did it just a few drop lol. This story man, just remembering the time I was in there, just scares me man. And here I thought I'm getting a little use to it now but nvm just seeing this video makes me remind me of that on time. Just syk I have a phobia of the ocean back when I was a little, still scared but not that very scared so ye.

​@@LilLottieNo.3 ok I'm not being like rude but the jelly didn't mean to do it. Most species don't have eyes or anything to be honest. I understand the pain and how scary it was but don't try and kill the jelly fish. Once again I'm not trying to rude or mean.

@@Cheese_Burger345 yea I know, jellyfishs doesn't have brain, I jsut remember that damn pain Lol, it angered me tbh, bcs I was tryna get to this both and yea it just had to get it my way, my curiosity is very very AND I MEAN VERY bad, to the point that crap leads to danger sooo yeaaa

@@LilLottieNo.3 oh it's ok lol
