  • Summary

  • If I told you a translucent blob with long flowing ribbon-like tentacles could kill you would you believe me? A sting from a Chironex Fleckeri Box Jellyfish can stop your heart in just five minutes but it looks harmless. That species of jellyfish isn't in Hawaii, but it's cousin the Alatina Box Jellyfish is. University of Hawaii Manoa Researcher Angel Yanagihara has been studying Box Jellyfish for two decades. She became interested in the jellyfish after falling victim to its sting. She shares her story Wavelengths.
