Jellyfish is a kind of creature that lives in the ocean. It contains many varieties, and the differences between varieties are quite large. The man-of-war jellyfish is one of them, and its appearance is very different from that of most other jellyfish, because it has no canopy, but only a body similar to a swim bladder.
Most jellyfish are poisonous, and the man-of-war is no exception. Their tentacles look very beautiful from the outside, but the venom is in their tentacles. Each of their tentacles has a very large number of stinging cells, which can release toxic substances. These stinging cells are relatively small and release less venom, but because they are so numerous, their toxicity is generally more harmful to humans and other animals.
As mentioned above, the man-of-war is poisonous. Although the venom secreted by a single stinging cell is not much, the number of them is very large, so overall, the toxicity is relatively large. Moreover, the man-of-war is recognized as a highly toxic jellyfish, and can even be said to be one of the ten most toxic jellyfish in all jellyfish.
Their tentacles can even extend to a range of 9 meters, which is a threat to all organisms in this range. It is not uncommon for man-of-war jellyfish to injure or even kill people. Because its toxin mainly acts on the human nervous system, it is more harmful to people, and with the passage of time, it will become more and more serious, even sometimes there will be breathing difficulties, shock and other serious symptoms. Therefore, be sure to seek medical attention after being stung or touched by a man-of-war.
