What do jellyfish do to humans?
The long tentacles trailing from the jellyfish body can inject you with venom from thousands of microscopic barbed stingers. Jellyfish stings vary greatly in severity. Most often they result in immediate pain and red, irritated marks on the skin. Some jellyfish stings may cause more whole-body (systemic) illness.
Do you actually pee on a jellyfish wound?
A: No. Despite what you may have heard, the idea of peeing on a jellyfish sting to ease the pain is just a myth. Not only are there no studies to support this idea, but pee may even worsen the sting. Jellyfish tentacles have stinging cells called nematocysts that contain venom.
Would you rather kiss a cobra or hug a jelly fish?
I’d rather kiss a snake, than hold a jellyfish! Not on the mouth, necessarily, but still; as long as someone is holding the snake, and it’s not one of the deadly variety, there’s not much risk. Most jellyfish are actually fairly harmless, others have a definite, but not lethal, sting.
Is Jellyfish a plasma?
As surprising as this may sound, it has been three decades since human beings first launched jellyfish into space. This space jellyfish is made of powerful jets of plasma that were spewed out by a handful of supermassive black holes from multiple galaxies around 2 billion years ago.
Can a jellyfish survive in space?
Even though they don’t have legs and live in the ocean, jellyfish are sensitive to gravity just like humans. So scientists bred jellyfish — a species appropriately named moon jellyfish — in space and brought their babies back to Earth to see how they fared.
What did jellyfish taste like?
Fresh Jellyfish have a very delicate and mild flavor, characterized by somewhat salty and chewy. However, when it comes to dried Jellyfish, it might look firmer at a glance. But when you make the first bite, its firmness gradually gives in and provides a soft feel on the tongue.
