The reason why most people would rather go to the sea in summer than
rainy season is the weather. Swimming or sunbathing during storm is absolutely
not a joke. But there is still a reason why the sea lovers avoid closing
their favorite place in this season.
Although become a great
ingredient in many luxurious menus in this day, jellyfish is still a dangerous
sea creature. More than two thousands species are found and less than
one thousand are hazadous to human and animals. The Box jelly is known
as the most harmful species.
Jellyfish
is not a fish like its name. It is an invertebrate relative to corals.
It has no bone, no brain, no head, no heart, neither eyes nor ears but
it is a fast, active predator that can hunt and kill with incredible speed
and brutality. It works by exploding the tiny poisonous stinging cells
from a net of tentacles into victim.
The symptoms when
you are stung
-severe pain
-headache, nauseam, vomiting, diarrhoea
-skin swelling/wounds/redness
-difficulty breathing, swallowing and talking
-shivering and sweating
-irregular pulse/heart failure
First aid
-wash the wound with vinegar.
It would be better to use towel than hands to lift off jellyfish's tentacles.
-apply wound with
hot or cool bag if you feel sore. For Thai natives, they mix Caprae sweet
and lime water to apply the wound.
-take the victim
to the hospital if he/she has difficulty in breathing with even cardiac
arrest
-do not drink alcohol
or take any medicine or food. You may vomit and this is very hazard to
your life.
