Re: Thai Tourist Stung by Jellyfish
The box jelly fish contains a Venom that acts as a Calcium Channel blocker. What it does is it tightens your muscles, particularly the heart muscle. Each time the heart pumps, it cant contract, and keeps getting larger, and larger, until no more pumpy, or the Pericardium ruptures.

Re: Thai Tourist Stung by Jellyfish
I just got finished reading about the worlds 7 deadliest jellyfish. http://www.conservationinstitute.org...llyfish-world/ Here's a fun little factoid about the Irukandji Jellyfish, who happens to be in the same family as the one that killed the Thai tourist, and doesn't even come in as number one on the list. JESUS. Why do these things EXIST!! |

Re: Thai Tourist Stung by Jellyfish
This is all Spongebob's fault. He makes jellyfishing and coexisting with jellyfishes as easy as pie. There should be a warning when Spongebob goes jelly fishing, "Jelly fishing is done by professionals and should not be imitated by the untrained."  |
