Randomguy Posted July 7, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 7, 2015 ANOTHER DEADLY MAN O' WAR SPOTTED IN NEW JERSEY BY LAUREN EVANS IN NEWS ON JUL 6, 2015 4:00 PM The man o' wars (men o' war?) are coming for us. A second opalescent sack of poison was spotted in New Jersey over the weekend, this one washed up on the 26th Street Beach in North Wildwood, NBC New York reports. The murderous siphonophore was removed from the beach and no one was injured, but remember: Their venomous tentacles can remain dangerous for hours or even days after their deaths, so if you find one, do not put it on your baby or try to wear it as a hat! An unrelated though still relevant fact: Blanket octopi are immune to the man o' war's sting, and tend to capitalize on this by collecting their tentacles and wielding them as weapons to fend of predators. The ocean is a terrifying place you're probably better off avoiding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted July 7, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 7, 2015 Deaths from these are quite rare. You can get some nasty stings though. Deaths occur from allergic reaction. You are more likely to die driving to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
