- I Was spearfishing with a buddy of mine when a wave pushed a Portuguese Man O’ War right over my head. I didn’t even see it, but immediately felt the tentacles on my neck and it sent me into a world of pain. Soon as I lifted my head out of the water I felt it push up against my lips and cheeks and the tentacles latched on to my mask and neck. Luckily my boy managed to grab it off of my face (you can still see it floating in the background) and i was still able to swim to shore where paramedics soon met me and sprayed me down with vinegar. Never dive alone!

The title should be Portuguese man gets stung by Floridian Man O’War.
That is what it looks like
Dork
thats what i thought
very underrated comment lol
this is gonna blow tf up
How he cried like a bitch
@@Tom-zp1rpWomp womp?
i was like 6-7 years old vacationing in Miami and a dead one washed up onto my feet. even dead it hurt like hell. had like 5 50 year old dudes try to pee on me. then my dad got me ice cream.
Peeing doesn't actually help. Your dad saved you from some horrible mental scaring lol
@@jokenboy4983 actually my dad also tried to pee on me and he didn’t believe me when I said it wouldn’t help anything
@@mrwisher1250 Eh I can't blame him. 10 years ago it was a pretty commonly believed myth
nooooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is sounds to perverted 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is cursed asf
Man inside edition has almost a million views from this and the guy that got stung only has 1k lol
@@ZenVibeWellness Soft af? U know these are deadly right? u would prob pass out if u got stung lmao
hopefully you are being sarcastic @@ZenVibeWellness
@@swefishers9529 They are not deadly
@@swefishers9529lmao I lived in hawaii for 28 years. Practically lived at the beach. I would get stung by these about 3 or 4 times a day. It's not them that's deadly. It's the box jellyfish, the ones that you can't even see in the water.
@@swefishers9529 Can guarantee you have no idea what you're talking about, having been stung by these literally hundreds of times, they are NOT deadly.
Mate, in Australia we grew up covered in blue bottle (man of war) stingers. We have little kids who cry less, including my two daughters. Fukk wrong with ya's
I got stung by one of these 47 years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Brutal!
I'd like to know ur age
@@piggyprosyt9859 Why? You writing a book on these?
lol im confussed how old u are if u were stung 47 years ago
@@piggyprosyt9859 are you 12 ?
I remember stepping on a crab claw that got stuck in for a week or more and kept pumping.
I can only imagine a friggin man o war.
swimming that far of shore in florida is asking for a lot of things
thankfully, florida man is immortal
That's really crazy. Makes me feel like I'd never want to swim in waters off the Florida coasts. And seeing that Man O' War next to you was weird. They almost look like some kind of inflatable water toy or something (the top part that is). They're actually like something straight out of a scifi horror movie.
Basically what it is, a floating plastic bag that drags behind a net of paralyzing stingers
Man O' Wars just travel the currents and the wind. Theoretically you could find one anywhere but they prefer warmer waters
They’re in the Pacific Ocean too bro you might want to stay away from oceans in general if you don’t like these guys
They arent bad whatsoever 😂 its funny this guy reacts like this. Every summer you get 3 or 4 stings and they arent as bad as this guy makes it out to be. Watch bondi rescue and see the countless amount of people getting stung, its literally not a big deal.
Its bad in hawaii too, those things are no joke...
He should have known. It's a Man O' War, not a Man O' Peace.
😂👍
What are you, a comedian?
Probably hurts more than running out of Fruit Loops cereal.
Ajhaha
👏
Stung him in the face?The pain from that had to be unreal.Lucky he didn’t go into shock.The saltwater makes it even worse.I hope they packed some vinegar in there gear.Never leave land without it.
Its ust like getting stung by a wasp but last a bit longer. this guy was overly dramatic because he was panicking thinkng its more serious than it is.
@@rileysmall4317 Are man-of-war poisonous to humans?
The venomous pelagic coelentrate Physalia species (Blue bottle) or the Portuguese man-o'war has recently been studied in detail due to their hazardous effects on community. It was observed that the venom of the animal is lethal to man and can also produce cutaneous stings of varying severity.
@@rileysmall4317 sped
@@sn0_ cool and? Watch episodes of bondi rescue where many people are stung and they are just given ice or hot water.
@@sn0_ also both types are in australia the worse stinging ines are slightly larger and more purple. Its only bad if they wrap around you or get near your glands. Ive only ever heard of a ba y dying from swallowing one but ive heard of a few people who are allergic and get anaphylaxis just as some people get that with bee stings.
I like how the cameraman instantly looked for a shark when he heard his buddy yell
A kid and I thought it was a toy, he picked it up, got stung and threw on my back. I cried for hours. Half my back was red!
Bad friend him
oh man your mate did you dirty lol
Ohh god! No!
Stupid is as stupid does.
When I went to Florida these things were everywhere. I remember seeing them washed up on the beach and floating on the water. They looked so pretty, im glad I didn’t touch them.
This is why I love my fresh clean safe Canadian lakes. 🤠👍
I'll never complain about our land again 😂❤
Lakes have their own demons
@@cyclingtexas1670 Maybe down south not up here. Nothing to worry about in our lakes.
@@bobwoods1302 Said everyone who ever died in a lake lmao
Omg man...I'm so sorry you can hear the pain!!!
We just left panama city Beach and there were hundreds of these on the beach and we didn't know what they were neither did anyone around us, I just knew it looked like a jellyfish so don't touch it. And I told my kids that and we looked at em and admired them from a far. I just decided tonight to look up what it was bc I knew it had to be dangerous. And tonight I found out it was the Portuguese man o war. So glad I had the brains to realize they had tentacles that looked like jellyfish stingers. And this is my first time back to the ocean in 30 years and I'm only 38 lol.
smart man! 🎉 well done
Imagine swimming in the ocean and you come across A Florida man. That’s fucking dangerous.
i'd panic and scream like a little girl too
Lmaooo best comment
I wouldnt even have a chance to say anything. I'd be dead in an instant.
And me being Black increases the odds that the florida man wouldnt look to kindly upon me :*(
I'm so proud of being portuguese
Wts does this have to do w being portugese
@@jocolako6763the jellyfish is from Portugal.
But are you a man of war?
Devolve nosso ouro
Heally? How proud are you? Are you heally proud? 🙄
Don’t know why the algorithm brought me here but this was definitely a trip down memory lane.
I got really badly stung by one when I was a little kid. Wrapped around one of my ankles and sprawled over most of my torso. I legitly thought I was gonna die. The initial sting felt like electrocution but then I remember it just feeling like I was on fire for the next hour or so. Then I got really badly sick the next week. This guy is lucky he had a wetsuit on that prevented more contact with the tentacles.
Happened to me a short distance from Miami a few years back 😬 I feel your pain, still get flashbacks 🤔
Right before I graduated from Texas A&M with my MS in Geophysics I went to Australia with my neighbor who was working on his Doctorate in Zoological Toxinolgy. We were at a Beach that had sting nets to keep jellyfish out. When I see people in panic mode bringing a young woman on shore. She had almost drowned after being stung by a very small Box Jellyfish that had managed to get through the nets. Not from the physiological effects of the venom mind you, but from passing out fr the actual pain induced by the small Box Jelly. We spoke with a Man that had been bitten by an adult Coastal Taipan 3rd most venomous snake on Earth. (Of course at that level of toxicity it’s really kind of pointless to compare 1-3 as that’s like asking which would you rather be shot in the head with? A 50BMG or a 44 magnum?) It just doesn’t matter at that point. But the man still survived. But the woman stung by a Jellyfish no bigger than a golfball is the one that almost died. Quite remarkable really, as had it not been for the copious amount of lifeguard and EMS working those beaches she wouldn’t have survived that incident.
You must be the type of person who likes hearing themselves talk based on all the pointless details you added to this comment.....
@@thedoge9590 and you must be the annoying person that talks down on everyone for nl reason
In this video though its just a manowar which most beach going aussies get stung multiple times a year and you almost never hear of serious illness or deaths. Box jellies and irakunjis on the other hand as you say are extremely dangerous and the more surface area of your skin touches it the more likely you are to die. You can touch the ones (box jellies) that wash up with the tip of your finger and the pain will last for 5 minutes but if you wrapped it around your arm youd likely die and have extreme pain.
@@rileysmall4317 Florida box jellies arent as dangerous as the ones in austrailia but still if you are having symptoms of an allergic reaction get medical help

My wife got stung, barely said ow like a champ and then was advised to rub wet sand on it, and the rest solved it self. Always use wet sand not urine
Or witch hazel if ya have it works great!
You took it like a fucking man, dude. Seriously impressive you managed to keep your shit together like that and keep your mind on your gear.
Respect.
Okinawa has a similar version. Been stung twice by them. I still remember the 10 minutes of burning pain.
I know I'm probably the only one, but I had to look up what a Portuguese Man O' War was.
Why not Brazilian?
@@Comeswoopfam Because it's a Portuguese Man O' War, not a Brazilian Man O' War
A ship used to establish naval dominance of course.
You may be. We have discovery channel in the US
It's interesting hearing from people from different parts of the world. Here (S. FL) they wash up on the beach frequently when we have onshore winds so everyone here knows what they are, but being from a different area I guess you guys never see one. Now you know, if you see it on the beach, don't touch it. The tentacles are what you have to watch out for, and they can be very long.
Happened to me before. This guy handled it well. I understand the pain.
What does it feel like and why does it hurt so much?
@@CraigStCyrPlus It doesn’t hurt at all, I got stung from those things like 4 times in my lifetime and it only felt like a small pinch, they’re all just cry babies.
4 times and your under 19 lol have you seen a man o war sting @@SUPERNOVA0360
@@SUPERNOVA0360 where they alive
Man literally screaming his lungs out in pain
TH-cam subtitles: [music]
The fact that Steve-O grabbed those and put them in his back LOL.
Yeah but that was NOT a man 'o war
got one between my toes as a kid. Felt like a white hot iron rod pressed against my foot for several hours. Pain comes in waves as fades. Never looked at the ocean the same. This guy was probably holding back tears and experiencing pure agony while having to swim. Can’t imagine
seen this on the news and had to find video😧. this shit is like a trailer for a killer jellyfish movie! wild.
This exact video on the news??
@@aquadileo8617 yea. like 20 seconds of it on my local news.

That was a HUGE one! Where I live, they’re smaller than my hand. That must’ve hurt. I’ve gotten stung maybe 3-4 times by really small ones when I go camping. Hope he’s alright, you guys were far from shore!
good to carry an inflatable emergency device in these scenarios, just never know
Swimming in the ocean at Myrtle Beach in the 80s. I remember feeling something brush my leg then pain. As I swam to shore it felt like a line of slivers on my leg.
I swam right up to one of those off of Padre Island. Realized what it was in time and backed away.
This has never happened in my bedroom.
Funny how they’re called “Man O War” instead of a “floating balloon”. Same goes for Killer Whales, often mistaken as “Ocean Ponies”.
never, ever, heard someone call a Killer Whale an Ocean Pony. I even looked it up just to see if maybe I was the only person who has never heard this, and nothing came up.
@willburhans3018 - ITS A JOKE!!!! Ever heard of Sea World? Did you know they used to ride around on KILLER WHALES like they were ocean ponies, until too many people were KILLED… and everyone was SHOCKED that a KILLER WHALE would KILL?!? Sigh.
@@bonjovirocks24 you liked your own comment. nice job
@@bonjovirocks24 look at how upset you are tho using all caps? lmfao.
Jellyfish swimming away like dang, the one that got away
The jellyfish has a good eye. The man does look Portuguese.
No lie or exaggeration: My granddaughter and I were parasailing in Florida 1200 feet up, when the captain cut the engines for a dunk in the ocean (something they always do). I was looking around for sharks. Instead, we landed in the ocean, surrounded by thousands of jellyfish. Fortunately, we were not stung.
Bollocks
Wow cool story bro
Pobre hombre. Esa picadura es muy dolorosa. Espero que se recuperase.
Man-o-war got him right in the face as well… ouch.
Looks like BATMAN met his match this time.
😂😂😂
My brother had one wrap it’s tentacles around his mid section, a BIG one. He still has red marks, even today, 18 years later
Does it burn and leave scarring or how?
My brother and myself were swimming in Cuba and we noticed a bunch of blue garbage around us. We decided to swim in and there were resort staff closing down the beach. All of a sudden the entire beach was covered in Man O' Wars. Very surprised we didn't get hit and quickly found out we were swimming in a SMACK of them.
The ocean is a scary place
I can't even imagine the pain must be like 100 wasp stings .
I used to live in Miami Beach for years. Those things are every we're
I met them in Siargao - Philippines at "Pacifico Beach" - Those creatures are NO JOKE.., very very painful - swimming to it can be in shock and drawn !
they were there? Thats the one beach I didnt get to go too. Went to daku and cemetary everyday. Never saw them.
And Pacifico is really on the outskirts, what did you do to remedy it?
Must feel like fire.
😂🤙🏻
It's about. 100 times worse than a perfect kick to the balls
Sounds lovely nature is truly a goddess
Bullshit.
Got stund when I was a 14-year old kid. Whole body full of tantacles and big waves... It is really painful. Luckily a lot of people helped me...
Spear fisherman gets stuck?? I hear the fish sent their best wishes!!
My duma** picked up a dead one when I was like 8 and although I had only held it for a couple seconds it felt like eons I’ll never forget that initial feeling it was like paralysis
I can feel his pain and panic through the screen
Got nailed by one in St Augustine when I was a teen. That was some of the worst pain imaginable.
this is truly terrifying! Suddenly getting attacked and having to SWIM😭 Shout out to the homie too! I SEE YOUUU🎉
These are all over the beach in Australia, kids get stung, everyone’s been stung especially if you surf.
when i was in australia i saw a girl no older than 10 walk back out of the sea with two of those things wrapped around her face, must have been hellish
I got stund by one of these when i was about 14 and i promise the pain is excruciating, i remember trying to pull the string like things off me and the pain hit my finger , its a pain u remember for ever . Really horrific
If there was unfortunately only one word that everyone would remember from that whole description, it should be: vinegar!
I honestly read this as Florida Man Gets Stung by Portuguese Man at first and it was very confusing.
I’m from Australia and I was stung by one when I was 4 years old and my dad said don’t worry it will put hairs on your chest son
Aren’t these the same as bluebottles? If so, in Australia we just step on the bubble and pop them
Not exactly. The Aussie ones are actually less venomous… for once
This is a fucked up situation to be in.
Just a heads up heat disables venom from any marine venom. If you have access to high amounts of heat definitely run the source over it ie engine exhaust water etc. peeing won’t do much but maybe reduce some inflammation
OMG, I freaking know the feeling when I got stung on my arm but to have it on his face, OUCH!!
NO BODDY CANT TOUCH THIS THING IS DANGERUS!
No shit Sherlock
I had one come off a wave onto my forearm, when swimming on the Atlantic side of Florida.
Hurt like a M’fer. Lifeguards had to peel it off me. My arm turned fire engine red. Took a week for the pain to subside.
Got stung by one of these bad boys in Australia aged around 12. Horrible feeling
I finally know what sting me in Corpus Christi Texas when i was 17. That was 16 years ago. It was see through blue with a look like rainbow fin just like that one and it floated on top of the water to where i thought it was a floating blow up lil toy and went to grab it. Smh terrible fucking mistake, my aunt rushed me to the hospital as my hand went numb and it was going up my arm. The tentacles was wrapped around my fingers and it hurt so fucking bad omg
Sounds like you leaned the f word that day lol
I’m doing research cus u just got stung today my very first time ever going to the beach and I went to the mustang state park in Corpus Christi and I got stung not even 5 min in the water after I ran to shore and everyone is surrounding the man o war taking pictures of it will some guy offers to pour vinigar on me which I take w no hesitation due to the pain I had !
@@zeeks.2470 I went straight to the hospital, the pain spreading from my hand all the way up my arm. They put some mud looking stuff on it until the pain resided.
Got stung in hawaii playing in playing surf as akid some of the worst pain ive ever felt and ive broken plenty
of bones sence then
Got stung by one of these bdyboarding as a kid only way to take sting away is to piss on the stung area...we call them blue bottles in South africa.
Hey bro just use hot water mixed with vinegar and not hot piss
I got stung by two of these within 2 weeks at new smyrna beach. Surprised i didnt go to the hospital but couldnt move my arms and legs for a while.
those man o wars sail fast! look at it go!
And they leave a whole trail of stinging tentacles behind like a dragnet. Good luck seeing and avoiding that
They're basically sail boats 😂
Wear a neoprene mask, I’m stung a lot by jellyfish and my mask protects me
Crazy how many times I got stung by these as a kid. lmfao this guy really felt it.
Look, Dr. Man-O-War!
The guy who got stung by Big Lenny (an actual Portuguese Man O War)….
and lived.
I've been stung by these tons living in on Oahu. There actually not all made equal and string can hurt way less depending on how long they stay on you and how big they are. This guy got hit by a giant and it got stuck his face prob didn't stop feeling like hell for 2 or 3 hours.
It was very brave of that man o war to sting a Florida man
florida man 0 - portuguese man 1
Did they have a small boat nearby? I don’t know about snorkeling almost a half a mile from shore without any backup. Leaves no room for anything to go wrong imo.
What’s the other option 😂 obviously they didn’t have a boat.
@@james505ism How can you not comprehend that I said either they have a boat or they have nothing? Where did I imply there was another option?
@@NemeanLion- because obviously they do not have a boat 😂 why would they choose to swim half a mile back to shore after being stung by a paralysing jellyfish if they had a boat available??
@@james505ism Because people do dumb s*** every day. That’s why. Maybe you trust people to make smart choices but I don’t. So keep typing your “lol’s” as if that adds any credibility to your trolling.
@@NemeanLion- im not trolling, I found it to be a generally strange yet amusing observation that you would consider there to be a boat just out of shot waiting for them, yet theyve instead decided not to get on and to swim a kilometre back to shore instead whilst potentially entering a state of paralysis 😂 Agreed, the dumb bit however was them evidently going so far out without access to a boat.
Yup…when I was a kid I thought it was a floating toy so I rushed to grab it before it sailed away. I grabbed the top of it and as soon as i lifted it all the tentacles wrapped my arm. It’s like sticking your hand in lava.
Not the Florida man again...
i think the guy was more scared by the thought of the sting than the sting itself
Literally made no sense. Feeling the sting definitely hurt more than thinking about. All I could think about was getting back home to the family safely
@@aquadileo8617 cause when I had a snake bite the adrenaline kicks in. you dont feel the sting you just know you got shit to do cause its gonna get alot worse. same with a broken arm, never felt it, just knew i had to get the fuck outta there. I guess you didnt get that response. idk
My brother got stung by one when he was 6.
When you respawn in the ocean
I remember when I was 8 years old or so, I poked a Man O' War with the end of a pool noodle. Me being an eight year old, I put the same end of the pool noodle on my mouth for whatever reason a couple minutes later. My face was on fire for about two hours.
As a person who didn't know that jellyfish with such a name existed, the title was amusing.
Believe it or not, but technically they're not even jellyfish
Getting stung by this thing is nearly as painful as breaking a bone , ive been through both trust me its BAD.
nah. it is like getting stung by a wasp
was he ok? or..
At least he kept his cool
It has been said that it feels like a 🦈 bite
They are also called Blue bottles
I got stung in the face by a moon jelly coming up from a night dive. Its nowhere near as bad as getting stung by one of those. But I wear a full suit and hood now whenever I go in the ocean. Can be all lycra so it doesn't hold heat
You're out killing things and they only injure you, I'd say you made it off better than the other living beings lol.
Got stung when i was 6. Even though it was dead and washed up on the beach it still hurt like crazy
I got stung by a man o war today. So I was coaching some young kids on surfing and when I walked out and felt a tentacle then excruciation pain
Yea it’s not fun! Thankfully it wasn’t one of the kids. Wouldn’t wish that pain on my worse enemy
I just got stung and I mean at least now that I got through the pain I can say I was stung by a man o war …
So was it worse than a bee sting? I see a lot of comments claiming it's just like a bee sting.
I think those people may be confusing a manowar with some other jellyfish because from what I understand it's way worse than bee stings.
I've been done about 8 times here in Australia. Never gets less painful 😂😂
A reminder that the Portuguese Empire once spanned the earth.
Bro here I found multiple small ones beached, never seen a living community tho
This is why I stay in the pool.
