If you are stung from a box jellyfish, the chances of survival are very, very low. The box jellyfish is one of the most deadly and poisonous animals in the world, and for some accounts people within a matter of minutes. Sometimes however, people can be stung from a box jelly but live, however it is an extremely painful experience.

Hope this helps!

If you get stung by a box jellyfish, you're screwed. Really. Children and the elderly would die right away because of their lacking of swimming skills and usually the venom penetrates the heart so you wouldn't be able swim back on shore. Weather you are an adult or a child, it would be excruciatingly painful and would have a long recovery time.

But, if a healthy adult gets stung and reaches the shore, they will need medical attention immediatly. The venom usually takes approximetly 30 seconds to penetrate the body. If you ever swim in the Indian or Pacific Ocean, it would be a good idea to wear long swim pants so whatever sea creature's sting or bite would affect your body less. Hope this helped:)

It depends on the Jellyfish, if it's a baby or if it's small about twenty minutes not long.

What does a jellyfish do to human skin?

I just was snorkeling at Jamestown, RI, and there were thousands of little spherical jellyfish about 1cm in diameter with tentacles about 3 in long. when you touched the body of the jellyfish, the tentacles shrunk up to about a cm. They didn't seem like they stung, but when driving back home, I lost my voice due to a small amount of inflammation in the back of my throat. Can't say for sure that it was the jellyfish, but seems likely.
