All jellyfish have stingers. I once wondered the same question. For example, a moon jellyfish doesn't look like it has stingers. It does, it's just that they're small and kind of tucked into the body.

Will people get stung by a dead jellyfish that was washed up on the beach?

Idk XD probably not... the stingers DIE when the jelly DIES ^this person is seriously wrong. Stingers still contain poison well after death of the jellyfish. The stingers contain cells called nematocysts which can fire off toxins and sting whatever touches them even after death or separation from the actual jellyfish. Some jellyfish are extremely toxic and a single sting can kill you. As for the person who answered before me, why even bother answering if you don't know and are DEFINITELY wrong?
