According to CCTV News,Recently, someone discovered more than 20 man-of-war jellyfish on the beach in Wencheng, Wenchang City, Hainan.According to the data, the man-of-war jellyfish is named after its large, cyst-shaped buoyant body, which is white and transparent and shaped like a monk's hat.A long beard extends from the bottom of the man-of-war jellyfish. These whiskers contain many stinging cells, and the cells contain extremely poisonous venom.
Although the toxin secreted by a single stinging cell is insignificant, when the toxins secreted by thousands of stinging cells accumulate,Its venom is as strong as that of a cobra.
The toxins of man-of-war jellyfish belong to the category of neurotoxins, and the toxicity occurs quickly after a person is stung.
In mild cases, scars will appear on the skin like whiplash, and the whole body will be in burning pain; in severe cases, after a few minutes, blood pressure will drop sharply, the whole body will be weak, difficulty breathing, shock, and even life-threatening.
I would like to remind everyone that local friends must be careful recently.
What to do after being stung:
Use a clean towel or wear gloves to remove all tentacles from the skin. Be careful not to handle the injury with bare hands. In addition, be careful of improper handling that may push the stinging cells further into the skin.
Rinse the injured area repeatedly with 5% vinegar or sea water to ensure that the attached stinging cells are completely detached, and then seek medical attention as soon as possible.
If your eyes are injured, flush your eyes with plenty of mild water for at least 15 minutes. If you experience blurred vision, persistent tearing, pain, swelling, or photophobia after flushing, consult a doctor.
