oddly enough, the sight of jellyfish do it to me. I don't know why! They are quite beautiful creatures to observe. I guess because of their texture...they are just blobs, but I guess it's also because many of them can be quite painful when touched, and unlike other creatures that can move about on their own, jellyfish cannot...they are just simply floating there just waiting for an unsuspecting swimmer to touch it.

The problem is that sometimes when I go swimming and I feel something floating in the water rub up against me, It suprises me and makes me think it is a jellyfish, for example, if a bubble hits me, it could feel like the "belll" of a jellyfish, or if a piece of grass or a string off my swim trunks rubs against my skin, it will suprise me, even when swimming in pools or fresh water where there wouldn't be any jellyfish.


I just watched a documentary on box jellyfish this weekend, and learned about how venomous they are- they are cool looking though!
