Box Jellyfish - Deadly invisibles

Box Jellyfish are among the most deadly creatures that roam the tropical Oceans. The venom can kill an adult person within minutes. Box jellyfish are found along the beaches in the summer months of northern Australia but are equally at home in tropical South East Asian countries. Lifeguards in Queensland sieve the swimming areas of popular beaches during the summer months to locate deadly stingers. Dr. Jamie Seymour does research on the jellyfish venom.
