Warning for box jellyfish in Thailand

Warning for box jellyfish in Thailand

The Marine and Coastal Resources Department of Thailand have discovered a box jellyfish outside Phi Phi Island in Krabi province. A Swedish girl was killed last year by this rare jellyfish in Ko Lanta Krabi.

People that see normal jellyfish should avoid swimming in it (not very easy since it is every where right now) and if stung go to nearest hospital. In the mean time put vinegar on it not water it will just make it worse.

The box jellyfish is deadly if a person is stung to many times but it is very rare in Thai coastal waters. The government will try to put up warning signs but well you know how that is going to go.

If you want to know how a box jellyfish looks like it looks like this.
