Oh come on could people just stop visiting water bodies meanwhile? Alligator, shark, crocodile tragedies and now sea lice? Goodness gracious me!!! - Joshua Osagie.
Stinging jellyfish larvae, more commonly known as sea lice, are attacking bathers at a Florida beach and causing them to break out in a painful red rash.
Stinging jellyfish larvae, more commonly known as sea lice, are attacking bathers at a Florida beach and causing them to break out in a painful red rash.
There have been reports of the sea lice, which are almost invisible to the naked eye, along Walton County's Santa Rosa Beach this week.
According to a report by the Florida Department of Health, infestations are prevalent between March and August along around 250 miles of Florida's southern Atlantic coastline.
Once the adult jellyfish die after spawning, the larvae continue to cause the outbreaks, with no mature jellyfish visible as a warning.
The rash is often called "ocean itch" or "sunbather's eruption" and lasts from a couple hours to several days.
Symptoms include difficulty in sleeping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache and muscle spasms.
People can lower the risk of a nasty rash by removing their swimming costumes before showering and using calamine lotion or cooked oatmeal to ease the pain.
