Compare to Steve Irwin and Coyote Peterson, you've gotta be ready to put up with some pretty harsh pain if you're gonna go out in the wild like this to make closeup video showcases of these kinds of creatures. You might get stung, you might get bit, you might get poisoned, but if you know what you're dealing with exactly (as in you're fully educated so you can correctly identify them and know what they actually do), and you have the relevant necessary medical care readily available, you can do it.

I got stung on my side by one of these almost 50 years ago. It actually left small scars. They look like faint freckles.

Unsure how to refer to it) you know that it is rather dangerous but also that it won’t actively seek to attack people. This joke is based on exaggeration and obvious exaggeration. If you understand the joke, you may find it funny due to how stupid it sounds. Rage bait is to make people angry, this very clearly is not rage bait due to how absolutely stupid you’d have to be to actually get angry over this comment because if one actually thinks for a moment, this is a scenario that objectively can not happen. Why would you get angry over an exaggerated scenario that clearly doesn’t even take itself serious? Had it been actual rage bait you would’ve had a stronger reaction than mere mild confusion over an “accusation”

Joking aside, in warm tropical waters, stinger suits are your friend. There are also sting-preventive sun lotions that utilize ingredients inspired by the mucus secreted by clownfish that protects them from getting stung by their anemone homes!

I came across these at Midway Island on a layover in the Navy and didn't know what these were. I had a "T" skirt on and swam among them and enjoyed the beautiful blue color. I guess one of their tentacles laid across my back and stung me through my skirt. The tentacles were about 20' long. Fortunately it was minor. The sailors that were stationed there told me they were Blue Bottles. I later learned the Blue Bottle was the same as the Man-of-wars. So I was stung by a Man-of-war.

I picked up one of these from the sand when I was 5 years old thinking it was a balloon. The excruciating pain that filled my entire arm I can still remember to this day.

i've been stung by these a lot, some are more painful then others, a lot of the time for the next few days after the sting, your armpit/groin will hurt after the sting (due to lymph node swelling). Also if you keep surfing after getting stung, it usually keeps stinging you while you're in the water, so that the pain the next few days after that are a lot worse. You can pick them up/step on the tentacles without getting stung because the skin is too thick on palm/soles. Also, they will still sting you even if they are dead washed up on the sand. They're usually everywhere during onshore winds.

Awesome dude, thanks!

I went to Myrtle Beach when i was a kid and there were DOZENS of these along the beach

Hey my Alma Mater. Very informative video on has to stay safe at the beach while having fun

Awesome video. I live in Florida, and we see these a lot, but they appear mostly devoid of tentacles. We have turtles, so maybe they get them. I didn't know they could move the float! That was super cool. I give them a wide berth. I love invertebrates. I was thrilled when I found a glaucus, it was a fleeting moment of glory. I tried putting a tiny sargassum crab in my fish tank. Don't try that. lol He was really cool, but he ate all my barnacles. He went back to the ocean.

We’d recently arrived when Typhoon Tilda (‘61) slammed into Okinawa. Diehard beachcombers like my parents came out to see what the storm had brought onto the beaches: Strewn along the shore were Portuguese man of war, blobs of kelp and jellyfish, glass fishing floats, and so many purple sea snails (Janthina) the beach was lavender.
