They are dangerous because of the fact that their venom can cause an unusual and dramatic syndrome that is commonly known as irukandji syndrome and can possibly lead to death. Then, as if this does not make it bad enough, the irukandji is very small in size, 2 cm to be exact and have for retractable tentacles that add to the danger. You don't see them coming and they could possibly kill you if not treated properly.
If stung call emergency services: Mobile phone: 112 Landline: 000
Be prepared to give CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) if needed.
Calm the patient and stop them from rubbing the stung area.
Gently pick off any tentacles with tweezers.
Apply a cold pack or ice wrapped in cloth (such as beach towel) to reduce pain.
Do not wash a Irukandji sting with fresh water.
Seek medical attention as soon as possible.
