Lion’s Mane Jellyfish
We have no questions as to where its name comes from, but we do want to know if our health insurance coverage will take care of this. Beach-goers on the shore of New Hampshire reported that they received stings from broken-up pieces of these jellyfish. Many marine biologists don’t believe that their stings can kill, but immediate medical attention is a must!

Flower Urchin
If you’ve ever worried about food poisoning, then you’ve never visited a Japanese seafood restaurant that actually serves poisonous flower urchin soup. A Japanese marine biologist was stung by a flower urchin while conducting experiments at sea. The pain from his fingers raced to his heart and paralyzed his face. When he started to feel better, he still noticed that it took six hours until all the pain diminished.
