They kill people, especially children if hit hard and help is not close by.  Survivors have scars for the rest of their life.

Thanks for the Queensland info!

I don't recall if he's taken a hit from the box Jellyfish. He stays almost entirely with insects.
I did watch an episode of the Barefoot Bushman's series, years ago, where he purposefully took a serious sting from a box Jellyfish in the upper inner thigh. I think you have to purchase that entire series, from him (or his company) to view it, now --- but, even with all the efforts he put into "treating" the sting, he ended-up in the hospital for multiple days.

My daughter is near the coast, and is always sincerely concerned about the box Jellies when taking her toddlers to the beach.
Thanks again!
