Meet the tiniest killer in the water. Having this app installed may save a (your) life!The Irukandji Jellyfish (Carukia barnesi) inhabits waters of Australia, the Pacific Basin and maybe Florida and other warm oceans. This is a deadly box jellyfish, which is only 2.5 centimeters (with bell and tentacles) in diameter, which makes it difficult to spot.The Irukandji is believed to be the most venomous creature in the world. Not much is known about it yet and new discoveries are made all the time.Getting stung will result in the Irukandji syndrome, a potentially deadly and catastrophic complex of clinical signs and symptoms that has been attributed to the stings of various species of jellyfish.The syndrome has also been described throughout the Pacific basin and recently from waters off Florida.In 1999, the research team described the first case from temperate Australian waters. Two fatalities, both affecting overseas tourists holidaying in north Queensland, occurred in early 2002. Both cases were attributed to intracranial haemorrhage associated with severe hypertension.If you suspect Irukandji syndrome call for an ambulance immediately!This info app will give you:Up to date information about the deadly Irukandji JellyfishDesciption of the Irukandji SyndromeUp-to date News about Irukandji JellyfishFirst Aid InstructionsUp-to-date Tweets about Irukandji JellyfishLots of interesting Videos full of information on Irukandji JellyfishMake sure you share this app around with everyone who lives in or plans to travel to Australia, The Pacific Basin including Thailand, Florida or any area with tropical warm waters.Enjoy :-)This app needs an active data connection for all functions to work.Disclaimer:qldapps aggregates celebrity news and social media information frompublicly available APIs and adheres to the terms of use as provided by Twitter, Youtube, Flickr, and Facebook and other sources.
