A marine biologist is advising the public to maintain a safe distance from jellyfish and to refrain from touching them. The warning stems from potential health risks associated with jellyfish encounters. These risks can range from mild irritation to more severe reactions, depending on the species and individual sensitivity. Experts emphasize that even seemingly dead jellyfish washed ashore can still deliver a sting. The biologist’s advice is a reminder of the importance of caution when enjoying coastal areas inhabited by these marine creatures. This advisory was recently published on Kapitalis.
