Irukandji syndrome is a painful, potentially lethal condition caused by the sting and envenomation from multiple jellyfish species. It is characterized by severe pain, muscle cramping, hypertension, and potentially life-threatening cardiac complications. Prompt recognition and proper treatment of this condition can significantly improve patient comfort, and prevent potentially life-threatening complications associated with the condition. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of Irukandji syndrome and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in caring for patients with this condition.
