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.

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.

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