SCOTT FITZGERSLD Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 9-year-old Israeli boy dies from medusa burn on beach in Koh Phangan. Rescue workers provided first aid to a boy burned by a poisonous cube jellyfish - but their efforts were unsuccessful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorry Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Nothing unusual. Happens sometimes around Samui, especially during rainy season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Got bit by some sort of jellyfish in a remote part of Indonesia. I went through some kind of toxic shock, like I had just downed a litre of espresso. No doctor on this island, but I was able to get on the internet and learned that antihistamines can fight it off; luckily I had a bunch of tablets that I carry for my sinus problems. My guess is it was a Portuguese man o' war. A week later or so later I was back in KL, and within a few hours of checking into my hotel I was suddenly knocked on my sat-upon by something that felt like a flu. Weird, I even visited Dolly for a few nights on the way back and felt great. Have no idea if the two are connected, but I do believe the stings lowered my resistance. Funny thing: on the bus from KL airport into the city (it takes all of an hour) I was sitting next to young Malaysian-Chinese woman doctor who had just returned from Australia. We chatted most of the time, and a few times she asked if I was feeling well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delgarcon Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Unbelievable, you're all so self centred that you don't even think of the boy or what his family are going through! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
