JesperDeltagerJeg støder ind imellem på nogle gul/hvide goblelignende dyr når jeg dykker på kysten. De har nogle sindssygt lange tråde hængende under/efter sig. Er der nogen der kan byde ind med hvad det er for nogen, er de “giftige” osv. ??

MarcDeltagerHvis det er sådan en her, skal du være rigtig bange:
Sådan en her skal du helst undgå:
Den her kan svie lidt:
Den her er helt ufarlig:
Og den her er invasiv, men ret flot når lyset rammer den:
Ps. De to første kan vi heldigvis ikke støde på herhjemme – så du kan med sikkerhed være helt rolig 🙂

Lamberto AzziDeltagerHehehe 😛 they are nasty beautiful animals… in cold months the lips are almost numb but in summer…. hurts!
The whitish transparent ones are not hitching but the orange are real bastards.
If you get tentacles on your face DO NOT SCRATCH but endure stoically, like a man should, and put any alcohol on the burn: it will destroy the nematocysts (small poison bags) and soon will be fine. Any alcohol is fine: including beer, wine etc… :blink:
In other waters, infested of small brown fire-burning bugs like that, i brought in the float a small bottle of that hand-sanitizer liquid and it works magic… also sometime with my kids on the beach. A small plastic bottle (50ml is enough) filled of vodka is easy to arrange if you know that there will be many jellyfish… just remember to close your mouth when applying it on your lips! 😆
Ciao!

MarcDeltagerNever tried alchohol after stings, but vinegar, I hear, should also be good.
I had a run in with a Portuguese Man-o-war whilst surfing on the canary islands. By first reaction I tried to remove the tentacle with my hand… which was pretty stupid. I had to remove my leash and use the velcrostrap to get it off my thigh. However, clueless as I was back then, I went to the pharmacy and bought some lotion when the sting became red – and it actually took a few days for the marks to completely vanish.
In comparison to that, the Lion’s mane jellyfish (brandmanden) isn’t so bad anymore 🙂

Lamberto AzziDeltagerThe yellow-orange-whitish jellifish like this one is a pain some day in the Øresund near Helsingør… I get my lips on fire quite often when surfacing…

Portuguese MoW are real bastards… never tried one myself but treated several cases down in Canarias and Cabo Verde. Alcohol or vinegar are both effective (even if i find always more alcohol nearby than vinegar 😉 ) and after a sting i just apply antihistamine cream (Polaramin is all-over the world) or hydrocortisone cream for a bad sting if i can get it in the pharmacy.
In Mediterranean we have the small brown ones that leave scars like bad burnings and that treatment has always been good for me: i am not a doctor so i am not suggesting anybody to make self-treatment… is just my very personal way.
P.S. to remove the tentacles (if you don’t have alcohol or vinegar at hand) just scrape it off the skin with the knife blade: this will explode less nematocysts as possible and reduce the damage. To try to wash it away with fresh water will also break the nematocysts bags and worsen the sting.

MarcDeltagerThe lips are a different thing, as the skin is very thin on the lips.
I don’t even want to imagine being stung by a potent jellyfish on the lips, but luckily the larger brandmænd, which have more denser concentration of cnidea (nældeceller), are easy to avoid.

JesperDeltagerEr det virkelig brændmænd du tænker på?
:bTjaaa det ser sådan ud. Jeg synes bare ikke jeg har set dem med så lange tråde efter sig som jeg har oplevet i år. Men hvis det bare er det, så fred være med det. Jeg har lidt eddike og en engangsskraber i vognen så jeg kan fjerne det meste af smerten hvis jeg ryger ind i en.
Men det gav da en livliv debat 🙂
