Dangerous jellyfish have been washing up on the beaches along the New Jersey shore.

The jelly fish are called Portuguese man o' war and have tentacles as long as 30-feet.

They carry a highly toxic and painful sting, which could be life-threatening.

Their venom can be toxic several days after they die.
