You were in Australia.

Generally speaking, when we put a warning sign up about an animal it's worth assuming the worst.

You only get a relatively small sign on north Queensland beaches warning of the presence of salt-water crocs and bluebottle jellyfish.

Bluebottles are basically harmless - they hurt, and if you're particularly unlucky you might even scar. Nothing be scared of.

Box jellyfish (Irukandji) are a different story. These days there's a good chance you'll live (if you get to hospital), but you'll be in extreme pain for days or even weeks.
