Irukandji syndrome
Irukandji syndrome is a condition induced by venomization by the sting of ''Carukia barnesi'', a species of Irukandji jellyfish, and certain other box jellyfish. The condition is rarely fatal, but if immediate medical action is not taken, the victim could go into cardiac arrest and die.〔http://lifeinthefastlane.com/2008/12/irukandji-syndrome/〕 The syndrome was given its name in 1952 by Hugo Flecker, after the Aboriginal Irukandji people who live in Palm Cove, north of Cairns, Queensland, Australia, where stings are common.
==Early experience==
In 1964, Jack Barnes confirmed the cause of the syndrome was a sting from a small box jellyfish: the Irukandji jellyfish, which can fire venom-filled stingers out of its body and into passing victims. To prove that the jellyfish was the cause of the syndrome, he captured one and deliberately stung himself. His son and a local lifeguard observed the resulting symptoms.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Stingy Scientist )〕 Other cubozoans possibly can cause Irukandji syndrome, but only seven jellyfish are positively identified (''Carukia barnesi'', ''Alatina'' cf. ''mordens'', ''Alatina alata'', ''Malo maximus'', ''Malo kingi'', ''Carybdea xaymacana'', an as-yet unnamed "fire jelly", and another unnamed species).〔
