Irukandji jellyfish --- remedy?
Posted: Fri Feb 01, 2002 3:12 pm
Hi All,
Has anyone read about the man who (sadly) died recently from being stung by the Irukandji jellyfish in Australia?
Apparently it is a tiny jellyfish - about 2cms - the size of a peanut. Usually not lethal but very potent in its sting (hospitalise about 60 people per year according to the news).
Does anyone know if the venom from this jellyfish has been made into a remedy? Be interesting to know more about it.
All the best,
Lisa
