No one knows the exact number of deaths caused by Box Jellyfish as many countries inhabited by them do not keep accurate records.

The Philippines are believed to suffer 20 to 40 deaths a year because of Box Jellyfish.

Australia's records have only 64 deaths in the past 129 years from Box Jellyfish.

In Hawaii, I have found no records of a death attributed to Box Jellyfish.

if it is a Portuguese man-of-war about 100 people die from one jellyfish sting.
About twenty people died everyday because of jellyfish stings. So that's like over 1 billion people who have died of jellyfish stings.

Accurate figures are hard to come by, apparently. Maybe 30 per year .
