Well, Irukandji doesn't exactly kill you. What it does is much worse:
It comes from the sting of a jellyfish that is about the size of your little fingernail, and is almost completely transparent. Even worse, it can easily slip clear of anti-jellyfish nets. If you get stung, it causes insane amounts of pain. You may notice in the second half of the video a sufferer writing in utter agony. Bear in mind that she is under a lot of morphine at this point. If she had any more, she would likely die of an overdose. And despite this, I have heard reports of mothers claiming that the pain of childbirth was nowhere near as bad as the pain of Irukandji syndrome, even with as much painkillers pumped into them as they can take without overdosing. Fortunately, you don't get it unless you go swimming off the Australian coast.
