Jellyfish are graceful semi transparent creatures. They are carnivorous but are only five percent solid matter. The remaining 95 percent is all water!

There are over 200 varieties of jellyfish in a wide assortment of sizes and shapes, from the 1" thimble size Caribbean jellyfish to the Arctic Lion's Mane's jellyfish with tentacles as long as 100 feet, and weighing up to a ton.

If stung by a jellyfish, the victim should carefully remove the tentacles that adhere to the skin by using sand, clothing, towels, seaweed or other available materials. As long as tentacles remain on the skin, they will continue to discharge venom.

Jellyfish tentacles contain millions of small, stinging cells called nematocysts. Stings can range from mild burns and skin redness to excruciating pain, nausea, low blood pressure shortness of breath and even death.

In the business world, jellyfish personify "forces in the market" that cannot be easily perceived but are harmful all the same. These include political, economic, social and technological changes that can disrupt operations, even to the point of closure.
