Can a protein found in jellyfish really improve memory? Our research says.. yes!

Just like salt water jellyfish they do have stinging cells. However, these cnidocytes cells are used for paralyzing very tiny prey and have not been proven to have the capacity to pierce human skin.

Stop being a baby tbh

what? jellyfish are super cute. if you can touch them without having to worry about being stung that would be amazing, i wanna find a freshwater jelly. <3

i used to pet them when i saw them on the beach. it's fine as long as you just touch the top and they're super squishy. and then i would scoop them with my boogie board and put them back in the water.

Yeah I don't see the big deal either. Most jellyfish can't seriously hurt you, and many can't sting at all. They're just fun floating blobs.

If you'd said there's freshwater Portuguese man o wars, then fuck yeah that would be awful, haha.
