If you or your children get stung the best thing to do at the beach is...wee on the sting! I'm not joking either it was on jackass lol..Steve O put one on his head and then poured wee on himself to stop the stinging.

I recall a program recently about the discovery of the events that led to these unexplained nasty stings...I am positive they are the Irukandji  that George mentions. The offending item was a particularly tiny box jellyfish..The two main participants of the program  did get stung by these little critters, but they pulled through in the end........which is nice !

There was a Discovery channel program called "killer jellyfish" newbielink:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139594/ [nonactive] that I think is the one you're refering to-- perhaps one of my favourite documentaries ever, I really wish they would release it to dvd.

The lead scientist they followed in that show was Jamie Seymour from James Cook University. I forget the name of his assistant who was also stung during the filming.
