Can jellyfish stings lead to hives?

My son-in-law developed painful hives about 3 years ago - after honeymooning in Mexico and being stung by jellyfish. Doctors can't find a reason for the hives

Jellyfish venom makes your blood cells explode. The deadlier the venom in the jelly fish the riskier it is. There are some jelly fish that can kill a humane in minutes. One of them is so small its sting is hardly noticed but it can be lethal.
