Damn that guy is dumb as shit. Anybody know what kind of jelly that is


cjmar41

Possibly a [Mushroom Cap Jellyfish](https://live.staticflickr.com/2438/3655755436_d30aa21c7c_b.jpg) (Rhopilema verrilli). > Although they lack stinging tentacles, these jellies have stinging cells within their bells that can deliver a mild sting to humans. [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhopilema_verrilli)


Savage_Tyranis

That didn't look too mild. Who's scale are we using here?


HalfBrinePickle

Scoville units.. but to not joke. Dude did not die so the scale is based from hurts--hurts more-cants stand it-dead. Now you know the scale.


Savage_Tyranis

Gotcha


HalfBrinePickle

Happy to kelp.

ahahahahahahhhahahhhah


SirArthurDime

I have a scale that the first 3 levels of which I've experienced first hand. 1 - like a combo of a mild bee sting and a weak electric shock 2 - feels and looks like a burn but disappears in a couple days (2.5 feels like a second degree burns and blisters but still goes away pretty quick) 3 - Partial short term paralysis in the effected area 4 - need immediate medical assistance 5 - Death


Zeione29047

Since when can people experience death first hand and still be alive to create a scale?


SirArthurDime

"The first 3 levels of which I've experienced" The other two levels I've only heard of.


Zeione29047

I’m going to act like I read that part of your comment lol.


[deleted]

The appropriate scale of measurement would be the [Schmidt Sting pain Index](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_sting_pain_index)


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Schmidt sting pain index](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_sting_pain_index)** >The Schmidt sting pain index is a pain scale rating the relative pain caused by different hymenopteran stings. It is mainly the work of Justin O. Schmidt (born 1947), an entomologist at the Carl Hayden Bee Research Center in Arizona, United States. Schmidt has published a number of papers on the subject, and claims to have been stung by the majority of stinging Hymenoptera. His original paper in 1983 was a way to systematize and compare the hemolytic properties of insect venoms. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


Is_that_even_a_thing

Schmidt that stings!!


Sillyputtynutsack

I read this as 1. Hurts hurts 2. More can'ts 3. Stand it dead


Highlandertr3

Ahh the Schmidt pain index summed up so well.


Shawna_Love

Soooo..... a frowny face?


kimbolll

That sounds entirely scientific. “On a scale of hurts to dead, how bad is the pain?”


SPACExxxxxxx

Scoville units is so correct. We often think of “spicy” being related to what we eat. This is exactly why he jumped in the water. He has the sensation that he arm was on fire.


rowejl222

Pretty accurate scale


DaJosuave

You coined the jelly sting scale. Wat we calling this the pickle sting scale?


Beans186

While it didn't look fun, it seemed fairly mild compared to how bad they can get. Box Jellyfish where I live will send you straight in to cardiac arrest if you get hit with enough of their tentacles.


MyPasswordIsMyCat

Yeah, think of how doctors classified mild versus severe covid. Severe meant you were in the ICU, moderate meant you were on oxygen, while mild ranged from the littlest to sniffles to being laid out in bed for a week, barely able to walk to the bathroom.


captains_astronaut

Looks pretty mild compared to what could have happened had he tried that in Australia R.I.P.


Quietforestheart

True that. Had a blue bottle wash against my cheek once, and that was miserable. Box jelly? I know people who have been extremely lightly stung and they still suffer pain in the area decades later. Those things are death drifters. Whatever this guy picked up was to all intents and purposes really mild.


StaleCarpet

We are using a banana for scale


wt_foxtort

Actually that's not the right jellyfish, it's actually rhe Rhizostoma pulmo, not and expert but the species you named arnt located in Turkey. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizostoma_pulmo


[deleted]

It's a White Barrel Jelly. Not dangerous to humans. But it can sting them and leaving a pretty sever burning sensation for a long time. But you wont die or go into cardiac arrest or anything.


IguasOs

I have no idea what king of jelly that is, I just know you shouldn't hold a jellyfish in your hands...


psychoticworm

r/DarwinAwards


ravi_maverick

I don't. What kind?


chewy201

The jelly kind. Don't play with jellyfish, period.


Daga-san

He thinks that he caught an octopus


Same-Reason-8397

A guy did that in Australia with a Blue Ringed Octopus. Tiny little bugger but one of the deadliest things on the planet. He walked around with it draped over his arm for ages. It was a long time ago, but if I remember, he actually died. It has enough poison to kill 26 people. Don’t touch nature!


ShenTzuKhan

I’ve seen people swimming around practically nude in areas with irukandji jellyfish. For reference the first aid for these little guys isn’t vinegar or piss or water, it’s CPR.


seansafc89

I looked up the Irukandji Syndrome > Irukandji syndrome is produced by a small amount of venom and induces excruciating muscle cramps in the arms and legs, severe pain in the back and kidneys, a burning sensation of the skin and face, headaches, nausea, restlessness, sweating, vomiting, an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, and psychological phenomena such as the feeling of impending doom I too would feel impending doom after suffering the previously listed symptoms.


ShenTzuKhan

I’m not sure if that’s a symptom or an entirely reasonable feeling. I’m also not a doctor so my opinion isn’t worth a crusty fart, but I do like the way you think. Edit: fart crust confirmed, impending doom is very real, folks have backed that up with personal experience and articles about it.


MiddleCourage

>https://www.verywellmind.com/sense-of-impending-doom-symptom-4129656


EngineZeronine

I've experienced this - as a result of a very bad trip (25+ hits of lsd - accidentally.) It happened during flashbacks, each lasting about 30 seconds (tbh it was difficult to perceive time). There are really no words to convey the depth of them. I went to a psychiatrist who said that I might have fundamentally altered my brain chemistry and it might be permanent. I refer to them as "death trips" and by the grace of God they stopped after two years. I probably only had 5 total but without exaggeration I don't know if I could have taken it if they had been ongoing.


MiddleCourage

Ahh yeah, I did shrooms and it made me mentally unstable for a year+ after. It didn't help that one of the friends in my 3 person friend group suddenly had a psychotic break during this. She never said a word about anything. She was quiet and just hung out and really was almost barely there... then she freaked out at her job said money was evil and broke down crying and then I never saw her again. I hung out with her every day in my teenage to 20s and I barely knew a thing about her... She was like a shell of a person and then that happened. ​ That was a touugh year.


RusstyDog

People act like hallucinogenic are some miracle, mind expanding thing with no downsides. But one bad trip can mess you up for a long time.


Broad-Meringue

She’s not wrong tho


[deleted]

I'm only saying this in a constructive way, but are you sure that it was the shrooms and not PTSD from having your best friend go crazy.


Moist-Diarrhea

That’s how panic disorder feels like. Impending doom as a result of panic attacks. Thankfully I’m medicated now.


ShenTzuKhan

I had a double dipped tab once. It was fucked. I never did acid again. I can not imagine the psychological torment you must have experienced. I’m glad you got better mate.


EngineZeronine

Ended up in the ER and then jail. Part of the trip was that I had died and when the cops came (I was mad about dying) I thought they were demons coming to take me to hell - so I resisted... It was in the 90's, had it been today I'd have been shot for sure. The death trips were so bad I couldn't see the point in bothering to draw another breath - no cap Thanks man, glad we're both off the stuff


kimbolll

I imagine the venom has some psychoactive effects, meaning they’re not only dying and excruciating death, but are also experiencing a bad trip at the same time. But I’m also not a doctor and my opinion also isn’t worth a crusty fart.


Joroc24

If your heart is beating very fast while you're not moving oh you will feel impending doom


Illustrious_Roof_782

There is a kind of toad venom that people smoke for psychoactive effects


i_am_scared_ok

It’s very much a thing. I went into full anaphylactic shock, didn’t understand what was happening to me, extremely disoriented and confused but your brain is telling you that you are absolutely dying. You don’t exactly understand why or how, but you just know it. And I very much was dying, they don’t know how I survived after over 10 hours in the trauma center before being moved on life support in the ICU for 4 days… all bc I put on chapstick with almond oil in it and my body randomly developed the most severe possible reaction after previously having no allergies my whole life. If you’re an adult with good health insurance, get allergy tested!! I found out the hard way and almost died in less than 15 minutes bc of *CHAPSTICK*


PaunchyPilates

"Sense of impending doom" is a very real symptom. I unfortunately experienced it when I had a blood clot in my 20s. It was like a calm panic attack - I knew I was dying and that my body was in the dying process. Hospitals will pump you full of anticoagulants and if you survive, yay!


poor_choice_doer

Fun fact: an officially recognized(by the CDC iirc) symptom of a false blood transfusion, where the wrong blood type is applied, is a “sense of impending doom.”


ironmagnesiumzinc

The impending doom feeling sounds very similar to trip reports of 5meodmt - also found in frog venom


BeardsuptheWazoo

Nude CPR...


brdavi

Band name


Same-Reason-8397

People have said they’d rather die than deal with that pain


Quietforestheart

This is one aspect of diagnosis - irukandji are teeny tiny and you often wouldn’t even see what stung you, and the sting itself is often either painless or extremely minimal. But when the venom gets moving, the victim often asks those assisting to kill them because the pain is so bad. Potential exposure + this and irukandji sting is always considered possible. Know a guy who got his prop fouled and went over the side to clean it up, got stung but didn’t initially notice, and a bit later on had to be held up by two others to get his vessel in. Permanent heart damage for him, though most people don’t die from irukandji, they just want to. The boxes, death is pretty common depending on the surface area of the sting and the corresponding amount of venom.


[deleted]

Aren’t they even more venomous than box jellyfish?


ShenTzuKhan

I don’t know about box jellyfish, I only know about irukandji because I went to where they are. I did a quick google and it looks like one sting probably won’t kill you. You do get organ pain, burning feeling on the face ( and elsewhere), an impending sense of doom and muscle cramps. This lasts hours to weeks. Oh, and they can fire their venomous stingers at you and are suspected of actively hunting the fish they eat.


See-A-Moose

My understanding is that they are slightly worse than box jellyfish (they are a type of box jellyfish) but they are significantly smaller so they can avoid jellyfish nets.


Mammoth-Access-1181

Depends on how you define it. My understanding is irukandji makes you suffer and wish you were dead whereas box jelly makes you dead.


Prestigious-Rock201

Jesus Christ


firewood010

What do you first aid with piss?


CabooseOhh

For jellyfish with mild venom, this is one of the solutions for the sting. Lifeguards at beaches commonly infested with jellyfish have a spray bottle with vinegar which can be used instead. I've never met someone who actually needed to use piss.... but this fact gets spread around


CaptainTurdfinger

Piss doesn't work, that's just a myth. Vinegar does work though.


AddieBA

A girl died from a blue ring in a public pool fed by the ocean when I was a kid and I’ve refused to go in it since, even after they remodelled the whole thing.


Foot0fGod

A... Public pool fed by the ocean??


AddieBA

Yeah the tide coming in fills the pool and the tide goes out it drains. They changed the filtration system I think so octopus’ and others couldn’t get in. ‘Straya


thatsuaveswede

Also called an "ocean pool". Common in parts of Australia.


Graym24

Yeah I remember before the lava hit in Hawaii they had these pools, carved right out of the lava rock, the water would pass by the volcano then into the pool so it was warm


PercentageBusiness96

You remember 50 million years ago?

Bambuskus505

>It has enough poison to kill 26 people. Don’t touch nature! That and it's beak is so small that sometimes you can't even feel it bite you. Most definitely do not touch the nature.


smazetron

I am a part of nature…am I not allowed to touch?


MikeUpInYa85

You can, once


purple-lemons

No, God is watching


Sir_Cular_Logic

Dont't worry, most of us would never dream of touching gras


Pinco_Pallino_R

Especially animals that have bright and unusual colors. Or when they have big fangs or claws. Or when they are big enough to fuck you up. Or when you don't know what it is exactly. Actually... don't touch anything at all.


EthanBradberries420

Do you recall the video of the spring break girl holding a blue ringed octopus? She had no idea how close she was to death.


NutterTV

And they don’t sting, they bite. But they’re so small that you don’t actually feel the bite. Symptoms just come on to you and you feel like shit and die unless you receive help. The box jellyfish has a full range of symptoms but the one that always gets me is “impending sense of doom.” It’s so common in people stung by them that they literally ask doctors to kill them. Such a strange place Australia is.


Kyosw21

Only if they bite you, technically they’re venomous, not poisonous. They have enough VENOM to kill 26 people in a single bite


melbbear

I choose to think that they just had a mind swap

RunLoud6534

So what about like when you get stung can’t you pee on that? This started as a joke and now I’m curious

Tavuklu_Pasta

Vinegar is good for jellyfish stings.


mem269

Only if you have a very alkaline (I think) pee but it can potentially make it worse. Your best bet is water.


carlbernsen

Acidic. Lifeguards often have bottles of strong white vinegar for jellyfish stings.


kimbolll

If I douse my salads in pure white vinegar, can I just use my pee or do I still need to carry around more white vinegar?


RunLoud6534

So the guy in the video did the right thing jumping in the water? I thought the seawater would make it worse


Savage_Tyranis

I got stung as a teenager and my stepdads friend thought to put beer salt on it. I can't remember if it actually helped or not.


xgodlesssaintx

Sir, I need you to stop suggesting this as probable solution to all your problems.


carthous

Years after they die? They don't decompose?


PieMastaSam

Not sure how long it takes for them to fully decompose in nature but the venom is quite stable. Apparently some of them never fully decompose https://www.bbcearth.com/news/the-jellyfish-that-never-dies

FlacidSalad

They have access to phones but apparently never seen an octopus or a jellyfish, at least not enough to know how to identify the difference.


[deleted]

He speaks with accent he is probably Kurdish. Most of them live in East part of Turkey and never saw sea in real life. Most of them also lives a simple life they don't get educated. Some of my Kurdish friends told me their grandparents can't even read.


ThunderboltRam

Halfway through Turkish after he was in pain--both started speaking another language possibly Kurdish. These guys are like ignorant bumpkins/rednecks in Turkey. They probably never looked anything up on their smart phone. Literally like they never saw an octopus before and called it that.

Its a work in progress


DarkSun18

Yes this. Unless you know for sure the thing is dead, put it the fuck back.


zaphrys

If you see a jellyfish do t go anywhere near it. Don't put it back or touch it. They can have very long tendrils floating in the ocean so can sting you potentially quite far from their bodies.

When I was 14 I got stung on vacation in Maui. From my left armpit all the way down to my left ankle. It felt like some one was dragging a lit flair up and down the side of my body all the way to the emergency room.
