Barbecued Jellyfish in Samut Prakan Sends Five to Hospital

Five people, including a young child, were hospitalised after consuming jellyfish at a barbecue in Samut Prakan. Shortly after eating, they experienced nausea, vomiting, and breathing difficulties. Authorities suspect jellyfish poisoning or an allergic reaction due to residual toxins. Local officials reminded the public to exercise caution when preparing or consuming marine species that can be venomous. The incident has renewed awareness of the dangers posed by box jellyfish and similar sea creatures in Thailand’s coastal areas.
