Anybody else catching the Discovery channel show on deadly jellyfish? One
species called "Irukandji " and is common in Australia during Oct to May.
The Irukandji is the size of a thumbnail and has venom 1000 times stronger
than that of a cobra. They just showed a woman who was stung. The maximum
dose of morphine didn't put a dent in her pain.

Yes, and it lasted 2 weeks. OUCH

Did you watch the previous show about the Humboldt Squids. That was an
interesting show too.

Caught the end of it, but, you are right, it looked interesting. I am sure
it will be shown again.

Yup. Saw that. Scary.

Perhaps Krause's medical doctor wife could post some suggestions for
appropriate treatment.
