Flesh-eating sea bugs devour swimmer's legs

Never heard anyone call them “fleas”, only ever heard them called " sea lice". What is with all this wildlife horror, at least we still have some form of wildlife here. Although having said that, we at least don’t have bears ( and don’t say koala bears, because only Americans call them that.)
A bit dissapointing boing boing treats Australia as comic relief, but hasn’t mentioned what Elon Musk is doing in South Australia, for example.
