The 300 million year old Killer we are still learning about (99)

from Shirtloads of Science

They're 300 million years old. They're almost invisible and they are deadly. Cubozoa, Box jellyfish or Irukandji, are both the smallest and the most venomous jellyfish in the world. There are more than 50 species and Dr Karl joins Lisa-ann Gershwin on her hunt for more.

But something as thin as pantyhose can save your life - how does that work ? http://lisagershwin.com
