Stingers in the water.

Its been know for some time the problem we have with jelly fish.

Its now a bigger problem and cannot be reversed, due to climate change and mans foot print.

You need to read my blog on trash / rubbish in the oceans,

What problem we have now is an unseen stinger, Some think its sea lice, other small jellies or shopped up jellies,

I have been doing close analysing taking samples where stingers are abundant. They are now everywhere and all year round,

The only culprit I have found so far is this.

The jelly type is smaller then a pin head, not the cone jelly type you see  
those were to big to place in the think tank i used to photograph these .

Super macro photography


Both seem harmless, however the tiny one top on the bottom right, may well have a sting that brushes against our skin.


Or is this our enemy 
Vinegar helps and so does zinc compound like nappy rash cream and calamine cream. The itch from these for some people is seriously annoying, giving much uncomfort, like sand fly bites,
Skin reaction differ to the victim, Wearing tight wetsuits help. if the garment is lose, these unseen creatures can find their way in. making a trail of stings,





Showering with hot water as hot as you can stand seem the real only reife, And help from antihistamine tablets at the extreme.  Go See your doctor.
