Jellyfish

[crassy]

I live up in the Northern Suburbs and today I went swimming near Quinn's Rocks. There were a metric effload of jellyfish right near the shore. Being Canadian and ignorant of all the different species of things that can kill me here I was wondering if anyone in this community is well versed in types of jellyfish in the area. I have tried googling

Must be everywhere, I was down at the dog beach in South Beach Freo this morning and they were all in the water then. Down there was a lot of the plain/clear ones, with a few other types as well. Dont do the beach often enough to know much either, but there was still quite a few people and dogs in they water so they didnt seem overly concerned

Ya, I seemed to be the only person concerned with the fact that there were a bunch of jellyfish the size of my head chilling out right at the shoreline as well.

I am a bit freaked out because I was stung 2 weeks ago and I do not want to deal with that pain again.

Yeah am not so keen on being stung either, or some of the suggested cures! I really dont hit the beach often enough to know much about them, assumed they werent dangerous as they didnt have the tentacles which I assume is where the sting comes from, but dont know, so just settled for walking with my friend and her dog along the beach instead lol

Yeah, I think the whole 'peeing on a jellyfish sting' is last resort. Vinegar is the way to go!
