5. How to Have a Sting-Free Day at the Beach
A few simple precautions can help you avoid a painful encounter with a jellyfish.
- Pay attention to local beach warnings or lifeguard reports about jellyfish sightings in the area.
- Avoid touching any jellyfish you see, both in the water and on the sand, as they can sting even when they appear to be dead.
- Consider wearing protective clothing, such as a full-body wetsuit, if you are swimming or diving in an area known for having many jellyfish.
These simple precautions can help keep you safe, but you should always know when it’s time to seek professional medical help.
