Yes Jelly fish can poison the body. They have a microscopic cells (which stings you) connected to their tentacles. When these tentacles stick to you, every stinging cell connected to you goes into your skin, and releases their toxins directly into your tissue, muscle, and bloodstream. This is why you can die from jellyfish so much faster. Others' venom take longer to reach other parts of your body.
