Its sting is among the top most powerful in the jellyfish family.
One sea wasp contain enough venom to kill up to 60 adult humans.
Being stung invariably results in excruciating pain, and if the sting area is significant, an untreated victim may die in as little as 3 minutes. Far to little time to actually react to the danger and perform any type of first aid regarding it.
There has however been developed an antidote to the toxins from this cutiepie.
On the lighter side, this nasty piece of jello fall pray to the sea turtle. I suppose the shell and thick skin is good for something.
Its venom attacks the nervous system, heart, and skin at the same time. While an appreciable amount of venom (contact from about ten feet or three metres of tentacle) needs to be delivered in order to have a fatal effect on an adult human.
The potently neurotoxic venom is extremely quick to act. Fatalities have been observed as little as four minutes after envenomation, notably quicker than any snake, insect or spider, and prompting its description as the world's deadliest venomous animal. Frequently a person swimming who gets stung will undergo cardiac arrest or drown before they can even get back to the shore or boat.
