stung??? NO SHITE!!! They are one BAD dose of PAIN!!! Stupid 'friend' of mine hit one in the water with a shovel. One of the tendrils laid across my foot. Oh God!!! Thought I was gonna die.
Swimming in Durban in South Africa, had one sweep its tendrils accross my arm. I was 11. I remember the pain like it was yesterday. Numb hand, unreal headaches, spasms, huge welt, sweating, and pure agonizing pain. I thought I was going to die.
