In reply to Morgan Woods:
I think this is a serious issue having once been stung by a jellyfish in Corfu, I nearly passed out from the pain, fortunately we were on a pedalo and Andrea pedaled me ashore, the pedalo man had some lotion (oil) that he rubbed on the sting and it worked a treat. He then got me and Andy pissed but that's another story.
Here in Spain beaches are closed if the jellyfish risk gets big, but I don't think we have anything like some of those in the article.
