Irukandji syndrome, resulting from the sting of an Irukandji jellyfish
•
Irukandji people or Yirrganydji people, a group of Australian Aborigines
Stings can result in Irukandji syndrome, and thus this species is commonly known as Irukandji jellyfish, although this name does not distinguish it from other Irukandji jellyfish such as Malo kingi.
From November to May, a stinger net patrolled by the club helps protect swimmers from marine "stingers" (jellyfish species of Chironex and Irukandji) which inhabit the waters during those months.
