Dying to know more about some deadly sea creatures? This is the episode for you! Come and listen to Jasper tell us all about the Australian Box Jellyfish!

Venom is a toxic (sometimes deadly) substance produced by some animals, and this week Amber and Jen parley on some of the world’s most venomous creatures. Now, if you look at the stats, venomous creatures kill less humans a year than non-venomous creatures, but who wants to learn about a mosquito when you can learn about an animal with enough venom to kill 100 grown men? To start Anti-vaxxers (anti-vaccine people) must be some of the dumbest people on the planet. Their failure to use basic logic is akin to punching yourself in the face and then wondering why your face hurts. Jen and Amber can’t even, so let’s talk about venomous creatures! Amber starts the episode with the Black Mamba, a not-actually-black snake, that have heads’ the shape of coffins, because if you’re bitten by one, you’re likely to end up in a coffin.Jennifer discusses the Inland Taipan, the venom of which is by far the most toxic of any snake Both sisters talk Box Jellyfish. Amber talks Irukandji jellyfish, a tiny, but deadly, jellyfish. Jen talks the Sea Wasp, a jellyfish with tentacles up to 3 m (10 ft) long covered in darts with extremely powerful venom. The ocean is terrifying. Then keeping with the Australia theme, we do the Sydney funnel-web spider, whose poison can kill you, and guess what, they like to bite over and over. Sometime, they even hide in your shoes!Listen know to learn about some of the world’s most venomous creatures. For more information on us, visit our website at betterthanhumanpodcast.comFollow us on Twitter @betterthanhuma1on Facebook @betterthanhumanpodcaston Instagram @betterthanhumanpodcaston TikTok  @ https://www.tiktok.com/@l_a_mander https://www.tiktok.com/@betterthanhumanpodcastor Email us at betterthanhumanpodcast@gmail.comWe look forward to hearing from you, and we look forward to you joining our cult of weirdness!#betterthanhuman #cultofweirdness

Ian McCormick was night diving off the island of Mauritius in 1982 when he was stung by 5 Box Jellyfish, which are among the most venomous creatures in the world. By the time an ambulance arrived Ian's body was totally paralyzed and necrosis had begun to set into my bone marrow. On route to the hospital Ian began to see his life flash before him...then began the 'real' story of collapsing veins, visions of his mother, experiencing darkness...seeing the light and more.www.theDOC.nzwww.instagram.com/patbrittendenwww.twitter.com/patbrittenden

When Olivia Rowley told Craken and Andrew that box jellyfish can identify objects and swim around them to get at prey in our last episode, we knew we had to find out more. How could a primitive animal such as the box jellyfish have "eyes?"  Olivia tells us all about this amazing predator and why it would require such an adaptation.  Would you like to talk about the Ocean, join the Speak Up For Blue Facebook Group: http://www.speakupforblue.com/group/ MCHH Instagram MCHH Twitter ############################################ Check out the Shows on the Speak Up For Blue Network: Speak Up For The Ocean Blue Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2DTQLOr Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2SJgyiN Madame CuriosityApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2xUlSax Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2V38QQ1 ConCiencia Azul: Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2k6XPio Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2k4ZMMf Dugongs & Seadragons: Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2lB9Blv Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2lV6THt Environmental Studies & Sciences Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2lx86oh Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2lG8LUh Marine Mammal Science: Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2k5pTCI Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2k1YyRL Projects For Wildlife Podcast: Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2Oc17gy Spotify: https://spoti.fi/37rinWz Ocean Science Radio:Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3chJMfA Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bnkP18 The Guide To Mindful Conservation: Dancing In Pink Hiking Boots:Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/31P4UY6 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3f7hDJw  

When you go to Cairns, Australia to study on the Great Barrier Reef, many students follow paths to study corals reefs. After all, they are studying the largest barrier reef in the world. However, Olivia Rowley decided that she would study a different animal. One that is known to be quite dangerous in that part of the world (and no, it's not the crocodile).  Libby decided she was going to study the Box Jellyfish. In this episode, she tells us how she catches samples (yes, she catches the Box Jellyfish with HER BARE HANDS!!!) and why it's important to study these animals.  Would you like to talk about the Ocean, join the Speak Up For Blue Facebook Group: http://www.speakupforblue.com/group/ MCHH Instagram MCHH Twitter   ############################################ Check out the Shows on the Speak Up For Blue Network: Speak Up For The Ocean Blue Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2DTQLOr Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2SJgyiN Madame CuriosityApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2xUlSax Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2V38QQ1 ConCiencia Azul: Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2k6XPio Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2k4ZMMf Dugongs & Seadragons: Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2lB9Blv Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2lV6THt Environmental Studies & Sciences Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2lx86oh Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2lG8LUh Marine Mammal Science: Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2k5pTCI Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2k1YyRL Projects For Wildlife Podcast: Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2Oc17gy Spotify: https://spoti.fi/37rinWz Ocean Science Radio:Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3chJMfA Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3bnkP18 The Guide To Mindful Conservation: Dancing In Pink Hiking Boots:Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/31P4UY6 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3f7hDJw Tourism is a big deal in Cairns.

Last time we talked about stingers, we learnt some valuable insights - don't wee on them! Turns out, there may be some better solutions on the horizon. Associate Professor Greg Neely, from the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Sydney, has discovered an antidote to the sting of the most venomous creature on Earth -  the Australian box jellyfish. Greg's antidote, discovered using CRISPR genome editing technology, blocks the symptoms within 15 minutes, and overlaps interestingly with research conducted into cholesterol. This means that the drug development may already be out there and we could see something in the hands of life-savers sooner rather than later.

In 1982 Ian McCormack was diving off the island of Mauritius when he was stung by five Box Jellyfish. Within a very short time, his body was reacting to the venom, and he died. Local divers tried to help him, but there was little they could do. At the same time, his Mother was aware that something was happening, and began to pray to a God that Ian didn’t yet believe in. This is an amazing recount from Ian, with many supporting testimonials to accompany it.

The outback of Australia is known for its deadly creatures. From the poisonous puncture of the Sydney Funnel Mouth Spider to the fatal sting of the Box Jellyfish, Australia is teeming with creatures with the power to eradicate humankind – or, at least cause the early demise of those most unfortunate individuals to encounter them. The legendary Bunyip is no exception. Known for centuries by Australian aborigines, the giant creature is said to lurk in swamps and billabongs, letting out a booming call before striking its unlucky victim.

Stephen Redmond became the first person to swim the 7 Oceans which is deemed the ocean equivalent to the 7 Summits. Redmond was faced with severe sea sickness, vertigo, box jellyfish and sharks as he swam his way into the record books. He swam the English Channel between England and France in August 2009, followed by the North Channel between Scotland and Northern Ireland a year later. In May 2011 he swam the Gibraltar Strait between Spain and Morocco and then in October of that year he swam the Catalina Channel off California. He followed it up the following February with a swim of the Molokai Channel in Hawaii and then the Cook Strait between the north and south islands of New Zealand the same month. He then completed the challenge with a 20km swim of the Tsugaru Strait in Japan. Here Redmond tells us exactly why his endeavours have seen him inducted into the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame.

Jellyfish is one of the most dangerous venomous creatures in the world. Death from Box Jellyfish stings can occurs within five minutes. Stung by five Box Jellyfish while diving off the coast of Mauritius, Ian McCormack later died in hospital and was dead for 15-20 minutes. He experienced both hell and heaven and came back to tell the story. Dying was his doorway to true life and his story is transforming lives around the world as it touches on some of the deepest question we all eventually ask.

Ian was night diving off the island of Mauritius when he was stung multiple times by Box Jellyfish, which are among the most venomous creatures in the world. His testimony relates how he clung to life while getting to hospital, was declared clinically dead soon afterwards, and how during this time he had an encounter with Jesus, which radically changed the direction of his life.
