The Nesselgifts of the cubes are among the strongest poisons in the animal kingdom. They serve to capture and defend enemies. The poison of the Nessel capsules of about 1.2 m length of chironex fleckeri causes death within a few minutes when a child comes into contact with them. The length of a single Tentakel of an adult Chironex fleckeri can reach up to 3 m. an adult specimen has up to 60 tentacles; this results in a theoretical total length of 180 m. The poison of a single specimen of Chironex fleckeri could thus theoretically kill more than 100 people[3]. According to other sources, six to eight meters of tentacles have enough poison to kill a person[6]. The extremely painful Irukandji syndrome is triggered by a poisoning by another group of cubes (“Irukandji Group”), which is rarely fatal. To date, the poisons and their structures have hardly been cleared up, it is clear that they consist of proteins.

  1. Depending on the amount of poison (and if you reach the shore without drowning from pain) in a few minutes
  2. There is a antidote (since several years), as an emergency measure helps dilute acetic acid (since 1980 known)

This may be, but the vinegar only prevents the right-wing cuffs from being triggered in the tentacles;)

Halo,
It depends on how much tentacles contact the person had. It becomes deadly about 2 meters. The poison of one of these jellyfish can kill 200 people.

The extent of human complaints in skin contacts ranges from mild skin burning to death and depends on the following factors:

  • the type of jelly, whereby the cube is awarded the highest toxicity

  • the injection force

  • skin thickness in humans

  • the large surface area of the skin contacts, whereby eyes, neck, chest and wrists are considered to be particularly sensitive areas

  • and the sensitivity of the affected person

The poison effects are quickly used. “Because the touch of a single thread resembles a glowing whip. Little later, there are thick, bruises on the affected body area” (3). If the action is not so intense, in the milder case the burns can decay after half an hour to an hour. However, deaths are also reported within 2-3 minutes. The list of possible, longer-lasting follow-up complaints is long: swelling, respiratory complaints, muscle paralysis, vomiting, slow heartbeat, circulatory complaints, shock and – as already mentioned – death, particularly affecting infants.
