With the fine weather, the jellyfish are back on the beaches of the Côte d’Azur and the Var. Monday, June 13, the JT of 12/13 shares advice against their bites.
On the beaches of the Côte d’Azur and the Var, jellyfish have returned, thanks to the high temperatures. “I don’t know how they can eradicate this, if they can clean up I don’t know how it goes“, comments a man. Dozens of swimmers have already been stung and some display significant puncture marks. “It is very unpleasant, it hurts and it swells“, describes a young girl who has just been stung.
In the event of a jellyfish sting, specific actions can be taken. “Above all, we do not rinse with fresh water, because in fact the little tentacles that are impregnated on your body will continue to hurt you.“, explains Captain Dominique Delin, departmental head of the SDIS 06 nautical service. The rescuers do prevention and hoist the purple flag, which signals the presence of marine animals in the water. Some swimmers try to capture them.
