It’s Stinger Season!


Today is the official start of stinger season in Australia. People have been urged not to swim in the sea because of the risk of box jellyfish stings, which on occasion have been known to cause death. The last fatality recorded in the Northern Territory was in 1996, when a three-year-old girl was stung. Stinger season runs until the end of May.
