We recently took a fun semi-working vacation down to Miami. It was a great time - a highly recommended vacation destination!

They are like little balloons - I'm sure that kids get stung all the time by these things. I had never seen one before, and I didn't know what it was, so I poked at it - with my finger. Duh. About 15 minutes later, I got an intense numbing and burning sensation on the back of my hand, then 30 minutes later my lip started burning the same way. It hurt for about an hour. I didn't even touch the tentacles, but evidently I got some of the nematocysts on my finger, which I then proceeded to transfer to my hand and to my lip. I can't imagine what a real sting would feel like. The tentacles on these things can grow over 100 feet long and contain trillions of stinging cells. I learned my lesson the easy way.
