The Irukandji is believed to be the most venomous creature in the world and the main point – you can’t notice it, since this killer is not more than 3 cm long and the whole body of this small creature is covered with poisonous cells!!!

The term Irukandji refers to an Australian Aboriginal tribe – these people suffered from the so-called Irukandji syndrome very often.

Sting syndroms are awful and a person can die in a couple of hours. The sting results in pain and welts. For the first 10 minutes a person feels nothing more than a painful irritant but in the following 5 minutes the pain becomes unbearable and it is too late to save a life.

First aid

First of all, treat with suspicion all unexpected pain, no matter how unimportant it seems. First aid must be quickl. Then visit a hospital for a more thorough check. Unfortunately, no exact treatment is currently available for the Irukandji syndrome.
