The Irukandji Jellyfish is a small but venomous and dangerous Jellyfish. With its size only one cubic centimeter and found exclusively in the marine waters off the coast of Australia, just north of Cairns, in Queensland. There are two types of Irukandji Jellyfish, Carukia Barnesi and Malo Kingi. Collectively they are responsible for Irukandji syndrome, first documented in 1952 by Hugo Flecker and named after the native Irukandkji people of the region. Carukia Barnesi, the first species of Irukandji Jellyfish was discovered in 1964 by Dr. Jack Barnes, who, wanting to prove this tiny Jellyfish was responsible for the Irukandji syndrome, stung himself, a lifeguard and his son.

The symptoms on an Irukandji sting come about in 4 to 30 hours, but may take up to two weeks to resolve completely. There is no known anti-venom and pain management is the treatment for this painful condition. Patients have been known to ask the doctor to kill them as they pain is so intense. Your best strategy to avoid this is to avoid the Irukandji. Be mindful where you are swimming and diving and of the seasons and water conditions for swimmers beware, the Irukandji Jellyfish!

Jellyfish are cool. They're like floating mushrooms. I want to get baked and go to an Aquarius one day and watch them.
