Girl survives encounter with box jellyfish

I read once that if you get stung by a box jellyfish, the shock of the pain will kill you before the venom does.

So this is a pretty remarkable survival story. Tough kid.

Girl, 10, is 'first person' to survive sting from the world's most venomous creature... the lethal box jellyfish

Now, I'm not sure it's the MOST venomous: fugu and the taipan have to be right up there -- but it's certainly very venomous. To say she's lucky is kind of an understatement.
