Well jellyfish don't bite but they do sting. If one stings you, you will have a red rash where it stung you, which will hurt.
A jellyfish can sting you with their tentacles if you are swimming in the ocean. It they brush up against you, they can sting you. Some pink jellyfish have mild stings that will leave a rash that is red and itchy.
road rash sting for how long
do you have psoriasis? I do and whenever I scratch and its red it will usually sting a bit, dont worry after its first exposure to water it will be fine next time
Developing a rash around the sting area means the sting is still inside your body. This could be very dangerous, please immediately consult a doctor.
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.
IF you have a cut or a rash under your pits it can burn or sting
It just stings if it is a minor jellyfish.
Jellyfish actually don't shock. They sting. They have little barbs on their tentacles (the long flowing things attached to the main body) that are filled with venom. That venom paralyzes prey, such as small fish or other small ocean animals when they wander into the tentacles. The venom isn't enough to kill a human, just give them a very bad rash that will hurt a lot! (unless they have a major allergic reaction.)
The venom in a box jellyfishes sting paralyzes you. It slowly spreads through your blood and eventually within paralysis it causes your heart to quit beating and your brain to quit functioning properly.
It depends on many factors like if the person receives prompt medical care after a sting and such and also on the species of jellyfish. The irukundji, related to the box jellyfish, can be found off the coasts of Northern Australia. In early 2002, the irkundji became infamous after killing a 58 year old British tourist who died a few days after being stung. Although probably the most venamous, other jelly fish kill people as well. From 1883 to late 2005, the box jellyfish has caused at least 70 recorded deaths, according to about.com.
You might want to see a doctor about that.
