Blue Jellyfish Stings and Itches Australia Gold Coast
Surfs pumping. watch out- swarms of Blue
jellyfish!
there are so many blue jellies. I got stung so badly from one of them, it felt like electricity run through my thigh. I had no idea they could hurt so much!
Apparently there is two types ones that make you itchy and ones that sting like there's no tomorrow.
I used Medi Quattro First Aid Cream after. Its starts to feel so itchy and hot after the initial pain. This cream Contains Antiseptic - kills germs, Anaesthetic - Numbs local pain, Anti inflammatory - Ease swelling and Redness, Soothing - moisturisers the affected area. I had to apply it twice at night time as it was so itchy.
These blue jellyfish are large if the touch in the water it feels like a hand or a rock its so creepy. I'm still going to surf. This photo from the Gold Coast Bulletin shows swarms of them outside Surfers.
Apparently this dark blue ring edge around the dome of the jellyfish is what stings.
The surf is good so I will still go out. I'm just going to wear longer shorts and long sleeve wetshirt. Soon we will need stinger suits like they wear up north in Cairns.
Cyclone Ola swell at Snapper Rocks.
Love that Ocean! See you out in the surf! SALTY. surfergirlgoldcoast.blogspot.com/
