“You can not describe the pain”: What a woman who was bitten by a purple jellyfish told SKAI

In her tentacles Pelatzia Noktilouka, of the purple jellyfish, Evangelia was caught, who a few days ago went for a swim at Pachi Megaron beach. The pain from the jellyfish sting was so intense that it stuck to her that as shown in the photos, her imprint remained like a tattoo on Evangelia’s body.

“She came and stuck with me. He made a very big sign. The pain from last Sunday still exists. Someone who does not know will think that I have a jellyfish tattoo. “You can not describe the pain, the burning you have,” the woman told SKAI.

“It stung me so much as if they threw vitriol at me, I felt such a burning sensation. “My whole skin was boiling inside me,” he added.

Purple jellyfish are spreading their tentacles in the Greek seas, causing more and more concern. In recent days they have even made their appearance on the beaches of Attica such as Vouliagmeni, Lagonisi, Lavrio, Porto Rafti, Vravrona, Nea Makri

Pelatzia Noktilouka has flooded the beaches of Attica, the Corinthian Gulf, the Pagasitic Gulf, and the Cyclades, while incidents have been recorded on almost all beaches in the country, as purple jellyfish are transported by windswept sea currents.

When we are bitten by a purple jellyfish, doctors recommend a specific protocol.

The research director of the Hellenic Center and oceanographer Epamineondas Christou, stated that “if it bites us at first we rinse with sea water, then we put a mixture of baking soda one by one on the irritation point for two or three minutes. This stops the release of the toxin. Then clean with a plastic card to remove the remnants and the rest of the soda mixture and then put ice for 5 minutes with a quarter, it stops the pain. Prohibited in this case vinegar, ammonia, alcohol and fresh water “.

Scientists believe that climate change and ecosystem disturbances are responsible for the outbreak. See, however, how a sea turtle in Naxos neutralized an entire herd with nature giving the solution itself …
