While i was reading through the internet as usually do i came across this eye opening information
The animal with the deadliest poison is not what you think, I'm sure most of you would think it to be something obvious such as the
King cobra
In actual fact the king cobra holds the 2nd position for most venomous animal.
The first place holder is actually non other than the Box jelly fish, But not any type of Box Jelly fish
But the Irukandji Jelly fish. These Jelly fish are no larger than your thumb nail
These deadly killers are only found in the waters of Australia (Sorry Aussies) and their size is roughly a cubic centimetre. Not only is their venom the most deadly but their size doesn't help either.
Someone that is stung by the Irukandji gets a condition called
The Irukandji Syndrome
The venom of the Irukandji attacks the heart of the victim and unless immediate medical attention is received the victims will go into cardiac arrest and die
How to treat the venom
If you ever find yourselves swimming in the coastal shores of Australia and feel an incredibly painful sensation on a part of your body yet there is nothing in the water near you, be aware that you have probably been stung by one of these devils.
There is no anti venom for these guys but the only way you are able to treat it is to pour vinegar on the area straight away and this will neutralize the tentacle stinging apparatus.
