One light touch poisonous tentacles of this creature is enough to three minutes later death occurred. In place of touch to it arises burn human skin quickly reddens and then swells. Body temperature increases. Against the sea wasp venom medicine is powerless. It is known that an animal in the laboratory was introduced into the body small, weakened 10,000 times the dose of the poison, immediately killed.
