Lol, one of the symptoms is denying that they're suffering from any symptoms? This seems dubious.

Shit, I am not suffering any jellyfish sting symptoms. I must have Irukandji syndrome!

No recent revisions to that wiki article, no Google hits for that line, nothing even similar on other pages about irukandji syndrome. They made it up as a (moderately funny) joke, or it's a reference I don't get.
