&quot;Irukandji jellyfish&#x27;s stings are so severe they can cause fatal brain hemorrhages and on average send 50-100 people to the hospital annually.&quot;<p>&quot;Researchers found that vinegar promotes the discharge of jellyfish venom. &quot;You can increase the venom load in your victim by 50 per cent,&quot;&quot;<p>Apparently turtles eat them.

&quot;he captured the tiny jellyfish and allowed it to sting him, his nine-year-old son and a robust young lifeguard. They all became seriously ill, but survived.&quot; - why the nine-year old son?
