In Alicante, Spain, they had to take everyone off the beach and close three on the Alicante coast because a fish bit two children ... It is not yet known if this fish is poisonous or not, but without a doubt, care must be taken when a person bathes in the sea. The sea is the habitat of many beings, and it is not for human beings, although we take advantage of it in summer to cool off from the high temperatures. The most common bites are not fish bites, but jellyfish.
In summer you have to be extremely careful because of all the jellyfish that are usually on the coast and that can bite both adults and children while they are taking a bath in the salty waters. Debts have in its tentacles stinging cells that when they come into contact with the skin feel burning and can hurt a lot.
Jellyfish are transparent so they are not very visible in the sea. It is necessary to know what to do and what not to do when there are jellyfish. On the market there are anti-jellyfish sunscreens that are a good option to repel them.
Although the jellyfish are dead they cannot be touched and if you have seen jellyfish it is necessary to warn the rest of the bathers that they are in the sea so that they can also take precautions.
If unfortunately a jellyfish has stung you or a child has stung you, you will feel itching, pain, inflammation and redness in the area of the sting. Salt water or physiological saline should be applied to the area, apply wrapped ice for 20 minutes. If there are remains of the tentacle, they must be removed with a credit card or the like with a sweeping motion since otherwise they could remain attached to the skin. If necessary, you can apply a corticosteroid cream to control the inflammation and take a pain reliever for the inflammation.
But remember that you should not apply vinegar, or wash it with soap or fresh water, do not rub it with sand or apply alcohol. And although it is a fairly widespread remedy, you should not apply urine to the bite either.
