In a very strange incident, a man nearly touched death and came back. This man got very lucky while playing with a ‘slimy’ creature he found on the beach. He was completely unaware that it could have killed him. Alexa_reed2, a TikTok user posted a video of himself playing and even licking a sea creature because he thought it was a jellyfish.

The video shows the sea creature moving up on the beach. It was transparent balloon blue in color floating on the water with its long tentacles coming off the bottom. The Tik Toker is heard in the video saying, “Look guys, a jellyfish is still here. I’m going to pick it up”. Holding the creature in his hands he said, “this is how it looks like. Yes, it’s a jellyfish, look how big it is. And it’s still moving, oh my god, I’m going to lick it”.

Later, it turned out that the slimy creature was not a jellyfish. In fact, it was a creature capable enough to kill humans. It was a Portuguese Man O’ War nicknamed ‘floating terror’. 

Below that video of the tik tok user informed that it was not a jellyfish, “this is not a jellyfish, it’s a Portuguese Man O’ War also known as the bluebottle, also known as the floating terror. It is responsible for up to 10,000 stings a year in Australia alone and the venom can cause excruciating pain for up to three days, leaving a nasty, whip-like thing.”

Well, if one gets timely treatment then he or she can be survived but still it gives a bone-chilling pain.
