While walking along the coast, the girl found an item, resembling a painted plastic bag. Not really thinking over what it is, the girl leaned over with the intention take a closer look, but a nearby father noticed in time daughter’s actions and forbidden to touch the find.
The fact is that this attractive-looking “little thing” was one of the most insidious sea killers, and the girl’s father quickly orientated and prevented a possible accident. What I discovered a girl, called physalia (a type of jellyfish), she is also called “portuguese boat”.
The poison of this creature is extremely dangerous for any creature, including man. According to experts, if a person gets stung physicalia, then he is likely to experience almost instant drop in blood pressure, heavy breathing, and then lose consciousness. The resulting pulmonary failure may provoke death. In this case, the risk of death was significantly higher, since the children’s body, unlike an adult, could not cope with a powerful intoxication.

The man lifted the jellyfish and with a stick carried it away to the sea, so that vacationers do not suffer from this insidious creature.
In such cases, experts say, a burn spot is necessary rinse quickly with sea water and apply ice to relieve pain. You should be careful when relaxing on the beach, especially with children, and neither in no case touch such “packages”.
