NATURE The Floating Terror

By Edie Widder, Ph.D., Ocean Research & Conservation Association (ORCA), Photo by Dr. Edie Widder

The Atlantic Portuguese man o’ war (Physalia physalis) is a common sight on Florida beaches.
Carried ashore by onshore breezes, they look like colorful balloons lying in the sand. But don’t
be fooled. These balloons can deliver a nasty sting. Also known as the Floating Terror, the Por-
tuguese man o’ war, is armed with retractable fishing tentacles that pack a punch. Venom-filled
stinging cells called nematocysts paralyze prey and cause extreme pain in humans. The tenta-
cles that harbor these cells can extend to lengths of more than 90 feet, dangling below its gas
filled surface float. Wind and currents propel the float, carrying it through the water dragging a
drift net of stinging death that traps and paralyzes small fish and squid.

It is best to stay out of the water when Portuguese man o’ war are present and stay clear of any
you find on the beach. Their tentacles are still primed to trigger, even when beached. If you do
get stung, you should rinse the site with salt water, not fresh, in order to remove unfired stinging
cells. There are some animals that are immune to its sting. Loggerhead turtles and ocean sunfish
actually feed on Portuguese man o’ war and a few fish, like the man-of-war fish and clownfish,
can swim through its tentacles unharmed and use the Floating Terror as a refuge from predators.

already does for many diseases.”

That might not sound terribly schol-
arly but it is pretty darned accurate.

Until quite recently the body’s im-
mune system did not fare particularly
well against cancer.

That’s in no small part because while
a healthy immune system can seek out
foreign bodies, (microbes, bacteria and
infections), and then attack and de-
stroy them, cancer cells are different.

Cancer cells have gone through
changes or mutations but they’re still
the body’s own cells and so the im-
mune system often doesn’t treat them
as threats.

“What’s actually happening,” Dr.
Kancharla explains, “is basically hav-
ing a cloak. There is a cloak on the top
of the tumor cell and our immune sys-
tem is unable to identify those tumor
cells. So, the medications we are trying
to develop are [ones] that will unmask
that cloak.”

These new immunotherapy drugs,
according to the American Cancer So-
ciety, help to “train the immune sys-
tem to attack cancer cells specifically.”

Even the terminology surround-
ing these new drugs has a kind of Star
Wars quality. Names such as “PD-1” or
“Programmed cell death protein 1” or
“PD-1 inhibitors” mark these chemical
compounds as light years away from
the scalpels and saws once used to
treat cancer.

Among these newer drugs are Key-
truda from Merck Pharmaceutical and
Opdivo and Yervoy from Bristol-Myers
Squibb. All three have helped produce
significant and seemingly long-lasting
improvements in some cancer patients
but by no means in all such patients.

While the Post reports these new
drugs “are showing significant and ex-
tended effectiveness against a broad-
ening range of cancers,” that may not
be the biggest news coming out of New
Orleans.

In a possibly more startling develop-
ment, several major pharmaceutical
firms are now working together.

ceutical companies are joining forces
