Is it true that jellyfish stings can be fatal to humans?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed reviews and clinical references state that jellyfish stings range from mild reactions to fatal outcomes, with some species such as box jellyfish capable of killing humans. Case reports and species records confirm individual fatalities from jellyfish envenomation.
