These glistening balloon like sea creatures called Portuguese man of wars are literally setting sail as beach season kicks off the shifting wind patterns will sometimes force hundreds of the individuals up on the shore where they're washed up on the beach. Lifeguards flying purple flags to warn of the lurking danger. Portuguese man are, are pretty terrible. They are very, very painful. Their tentacles dangling as long as 165 ft below the surface are loaded with toxins that can sting you even after they're dead and washed ashore. 20 year old college student Hannah almonds er was stung while on spring break in florida. She says she felt a slight pinch on her chest within minutes of entering the water. I thought at first it was just like my bathing suit and then I felt it was just like kind of like burning everywhere else. Almonds are rushed to the er for help where she received an injection of an anti inflammatory medicine for the increasing pain. I kind of thought for a moment that I'm like either was going to die or was going to be close to it. Just because of how bad it just how bad the pain was because I never felt anything like that. While man awards are found in tropical waters year round, they're spotted more frequently on us coasts in the spring and summer time, experts say if you do get stung vinegar is your best bet spray or pour it on the wound to neutralize the venom. Do not touch the area with your hands. Instead scrape the skin with an object like a credit card to remove the residue and make sure to soak the area in hot water to get rid of any remaining toxins.
