I thought some might have your reaction but there are some good tips and things to watch for.
I did not know the treatment described for jellyfish stings, which I do know are very painful as my young brother suffered when we were children.
Hopefully, one person will read something here that will be helpful.
How lucky you are to already be so informed.
I learned about jellyfish in 1970, in Matzalan.
There were red flags up on the beach, with jellyfish on them.
That was all that was needed.
I didn't and don't consider that luck. It was the hotels' business to warn the folks.
I don't mean to be deprecating but those with brains will figure it out. Those with none will figure it out after they get stung.
But, perhaps it was a slow day in the news.
Did YOU get stung?
Oh yes, when I was a small child we lived in Florida for a few years. I was stung by pieces of jellyfish which you couldn't even see. I can still remember that to this day!!
We had no pools but we had the Potomac and Wicomico to swim in. We always used bottom mud or sand and rubbed it on the sting. Mud was better, although I don't know exactly why.
Nasty critters....
That info on jellyfish is helpful. I didn't know that, and I am taking my small grandkids to the beach in Florida sometime this month.
good article, i forwarded it to some friends
Also, a few miles over from where we were splashing about is where one kid was bitten by a shark this summer, again in waist-deep water.
It doesn't hurt to remind people to be careful.
