Apparently jelly fish can still sting you long after they are dead.. seen lots on the beaches washed up but not easy to tell if they are alive or dead. They don't move much. My advice to toursists. Stay well clear of jellyfish if alive or dead

I don’t go near jellyfish, be they alive or be they dead. I’m not as daft as I look

The big barrel jellyfish barely sting at all. Nor the common moon jellyfish. I've seen people handling them on the beach. Not that I recommend it

The mauve/purple do sting, as I know from personal experience. Not too bad in my case but can cause allergic reactions.

Taking photos of the purple jellyfish is how I got stung! Thankfully only on my leg. The current made one drift right at me.

Ok Tom but I’d be more worried about cow shit where we live but our eyes will be peeled.

If you get stung don't you have to get someone to pee on it?

There’s loads of them in the sea at the moment due to the warmer weather. Have seen compass jellyfish and the purple ones. Stingy little bastards.

Research is being done on potential using them as food. That's 1 of the good things about singing nettles, they taste great. Not after abeing pissed on. You first Tom?

No doubt someone out there has a fetish about dangling a jellyfish onto their balls to feel the sting and get turned on by it

Not one I would try -that’s for sure!

Ooooh I do love nettle soup and nettle tea, obviously without wee.

Just wondering though Tom, I’m guessing you avoid going to the seaside these days, what with all those nasty buggers out to get you but what about when you were a child? Did you ever have a fun day at the beach without getting attacked?

My local Chinese grocery shop sells dried jellyfish. I assume it's edible.

Urban myth, best cure is hot shower on effected area, and pee is currently believed to make it worse.

Bear grills says if you kill a rattlesnake chop off it’s head and bury it, as it can still bite you even when dead as a reflex.

Can a dead tourist still get stung though?

Wear some good old fashioned bathing suits Tom - we look forward to your pics . The stings will probably not be able to penetrate thick fabric

Wash with sea water, not fresh water, which can exacerbate the stings release. Urine is uncertain to help, as with vinegar, where the evidence is patchy.

Anaphylaxis can be delayed by some weeks and the dead tentacles can sting for a couple of weeks Swim with your mouth closed

Antihistamines and NSAIDs like ibuprofen can help to relieve symptoms

Swim in cooler waters. Wear foot coverings, to avoid stepping on dead parts that could sting you.

Swim soon, as global heating could bring more of the fatal fish to our waters.

Jellyfish may be an increasingly important source of nutrition, with drives to reduce our dependence on currently farmed livestock. Invest in jellyfish now!

Not for me I am afraid. I do consider myself an adventurous eater but draw the line at jellyfish.

I ate a whole baby octopus at a ramen restaurant last week. I've eaten rattlesnake, alligator, kangaroo, squid.... not jellyfish yet but I see no reason not to if it's safe and cooked in an appropriate dish.

"I was stung on the arm in Aus, nasty little shits! "

And one difference between a jellyfish attack and a shark attack. The jellyfish just stings whatever gets in it's way and is like hopes to get a meal. It's totally indiscriminate. A shark on the other hand .... You fill in the blanks

Beccause as far as i remember they not the same organisim. Jellyfish are made up of multiple parts. Nematocysts are the part that stings you
