Peach blossom jellyfish has been reported frequently in recent years, but it has never been heard of being highly toxic.
There is another saying that pinprick refers to the most dangerous jellyfish.
Artificial jellyfish is the deadliest killer in the ocean-in 2000, 68% of swimmers stung by this jellyfish died. In addition, 32% lucky survivors are disabled, and a few lucky ones can get away from this "jellyfish", but their wounds will always be branded with terror.
1964, retired businessman Keliman was stung by a capuchin jellyfish while swimming. Although he tried his best to escape back to the beach, he was still unconscious. Despite the doctors' best efforts, he failed to wake up. Once a scientist was stung by a jellyfish underwater. He felt hot all over and went into shock after being taken to the hospital. Thanks to timely rescue, I saved my life. Jellyfish is very toxic, and anyone who is stung will have a horrible wound similar to flogging, and it will last for a long time.
-Eric and Angela, an American couple who love to travel around the world, did not escape the attack of the capuchin jellyfish while swimming in the Gulf of Mexico. Angela was unfortunately injured. Fortunately, her injuries were minor and she was treated in time, so her life was safe.
The killing weapon of the capuchin jellyfish is its tentacle. The tentacles of the curly-tailed jellyfish seem to be only a few feet long, but in fact, those tiny tentacles that are invisible to the naked eye can reach 9 meters long, so many swimmers have no time to avoid when they see the curly-tailed jellyfish! It is the tiny stinging cells in the tentacles that secrete deadly toxins in the water matrix. Although the toxin secreted by a single stinging cell is insignificant, the intensity of toxin accumulated by thousands of stinging cells is no less than that of any poisonous snake in the world today.
Once stung by jellyfish, timely rescue is the first priority for survival, because the toxin secreted by jellyfish belongs to neurotoxin. With the passage of time, the effect of toxins is gradually aggravated. In addition to severe pain, the injured will suffer from sudden drop in blood pressure, dyspnea, gradual loss of consciousness, systemic shock and finally die of pulmonary circulation failure. Generally speaking, after being injured, you should stay away from the sea where the capuchin jellyfish is located and board or land as soon as possible. Then follow the following steps:
Remove any visible tentacles from the skin with a clean towel or gloves. Be careful not to treat the wound empty-handed, and be careful not to further press the stinging cells into the skin due to improper treatment.
Rinse the wound repeatedly with plenty of water or saline to ensure that the attached thorn cells are completely detached.
Cold compress can relieve pain.
If eyes are injured, rinse eyes with plenty of warm water for at least 15 minutes. If you have blurred strength or persistent tears, pain, swelling or fear of light after washing, you should give it to your doctor.
If itching or rash persists, use 1% hydrocortisone ointment four times a day.
If possible, soaking the affected area with vinegar will help to wash off the stinging cells.
See a doctor as soon as possible.
