My daughter is terrified of sharks. But loves alligators. Odd.

Can jellyfish kill? I had a friend stung by a jellyfish years ago, but it was easily treatable and the pain went away in about 24 hours.
FTR, that was in the Atlantic and in nearly 18 years on the west coast, I've yet to see a jellyfish in the Pacific, nor hear of someone being stung. Of course, that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen, it's just I'm unaware of it happening regularly.
