This study failed to predict exact weather patterns or other contributing factors to reduce the risk of stings to an acceptable level, but did identify several factors that increase the incidence of stings. The "stinger-free" season reported on Chironex warning signs is inaccurate and should be changed to warn bathers that Chironex may be present year round, particularly in the Northern Territory.

From our database of fatal and serious human envenomations, we report several cases, look at the distribution of these events, and discuss treatment.
