And this is news? You should come to Sydney where hundreds get stung by them every week in summer.

You should post those stories. It's summer there now, right?

It is "news" to us 'locals' because of the location which is in the intra-coastal waterway. When this happens just a two miles away in the ocean, it is not news.

...come to Sydney where hundreds get stung...

Between that and the stories we hear about Australian spiders and snakes, I wonder about my desire to visit there.







Of course, I definitely would visit there if it ever fits in my budget.

I got one of these wrapped around my bare arm once while surfing. It's not really that bad, the paralysis goes away in about an hour. Although, I did have to drive home with only one arm. And no, peeing on yourself doesn't help!
