It is December and the jellyfish season in northern Australia so specimens are often seen on the beaches, especially those in North Queensland. Should you worry about them if you are going to this destination? No, while going to beaches that are patrolled or while traveling on cruise ships. Then you will not have serious problems with jellyfish box and jellyfish of the type irukandji, the most dangerous.
Worse still, if by those coincidences of fate you get bitten by one of these dangerous specimens, you can remember certain basic actions of the treatment against bites. You should learn them, especially if you plan to surf. No kidding, a few years ago two tourists died on the beaches of Queensland from stings by the irukandji jellyfish, a small and transparent but deadly jellyfish. The season for this jellyfish runs between October and early May. What symptoms should you watch out for?
Well, this type of jellyfish does not sting painfully, it is more of an irritation that is somewhat red and hot. By the time the most severe symptoms begin, the chances of saving life are reduced. In the case of the other jellyfish, the box jellyfish, it is more evident since its sting hurts immediately.
