On the first week of February, 2011 I went to south beach a few times. At the lifeguard's station they had the purple flag flying for 'dangerous marine life'. It was the jelly fishes, Portuguese Man o' War to be exact. On the shore there were thousands of these jelly fishes. I saw a whole bunch of these ballooned jelly fishes flouting on the water. Some of them were pretty big, but most of them were a little bigger than a golf ball. A few people got stung by jelly fish and the rushed to the lifeguard's station for first aid. So if you decide to go to the beach anytime soon, be careful.
Here are some of the things you can do if you are stung by jellyfish:
