Every year Nomura’s jellyfish returns to the seas between Japan and China. They aren’t particularly lethal, although according to Wikipedia, they can be rather unpleasant if you happen upon one of them:
While stings of this large jellyfish are painful, they are not usually toxic enough to cause serious harm in humans. However, the jellyfish’s sting has been reported as fatal in some cases by causing a build-up of fluid in the lungs. As a precaution, fisherman encountering these jellyfish wear eye protection and protective clothes. To date there have only been eight reported deaths from the Nomura’s sting.
