    There was a documentary on Five about jellyfish a month or so back. An Aussie scientist had all these specimens in jars, some of them completely unknown to science, and potentially lethal, so it's not just the Irjuandji you have to worry about. And he proved that Box Jellyfish can see.

    The Irukandji is a tiny jellyfish which is a member of the box jellyfish family, being hailed as "the most venomous" animal on the planet.

    So Mr. Bantin, when you're visiting your friends "Roger and Pat" it's not just "Sam and Ella" you'll have to worry about, "Eric and Angie" can be very, very unwelcome guests.

    It's not just the John Bantin's of the dive world who travel all over the Indio Pacific on a weekly basis who are at risk ........ They've been found in UK water's too !!!!!

    Time to dig out the nappy's guys these "Bad Boys" will make you fill your pants

    I would like to be voice over man....

    'As even far north as the icy waters of Great Britain...the number of reported cases is growing... it seems these jellyfish can exist almost everywhere''

    The Yanks love a bit of drama!
