no jellyfish this year

Saw a couple but no stings in DE

 

So far so good this year for me, only got stung once last year and it wasn't that bad

 

the sea lice stings in DE are making up for the lack of jellyfish stings bigtime.

 

no wave summer = no jellies!

 

We had lots of big pink moon jellys aboot a month ago, they have gradually gone away, but a few are still there. Nothing out of the ordinary. They sting for a bit, no biggie. With all the hatching and nesting sea turtles, they prolly got ate up.

 

There was basically a jelly fish slurry today on the MA south shore. I don't know if they were actually jellyfish or just little snot like chunks of jellies.

 

just got lit up this week in masonboro inlet

thanks nature

 

ur sister haz teh crotch jelliez.

 

I made up for a lack of jelly stings with a stingray sting. I have to say, I prefer the jellies.

 

I had one session this summer surrounded by cannonball jellies. I freaked out an SUPer and a foamy rider by picking them up and lobbing them like grenades in their direction... It was a cute chick on the foamy so I explained to her that not all jellies sting. The story ends there... I'm married, don'tcha know!

 

Cannonball jelly insides do sing if you get them on you. Its weird red gunk

 

Thanks for the info! Just looked it up after your post. Maybe some of my sea lice bites have been cannonball jelly stings...

"So one afternoon a Navy pal decided to bean me with a cannonball jelly while I was surfing. The ball struck my arm, ruptured the jelly, and left a mildly stinging path across my arm and chest, no big deal. My buddy, laughing with glee at the impact, reached up to rub water from his eyes. Big mistake. He rubbed a few stray nematocysts into his eye from the jelly. Yow! That was the end of his surf day, red eyed and painful. It cleared up pretty quick, that day, no damage done. I was left with a little red itchy rash on my arm for about 2 days."

"I think the relative mildness of the Cannonball Jelly sting is due to two main factors. First, the tentacles are short, largely encased in the jelly shroud, so contact is rare. Second, not all nematocyst are created equal. I suspect the stingers on the cannonball are small, poor penetration of thicker skin (but eyeballs, sclera and cornea, are quite delicate). Lastly, pure conjecture, but the venom may be rather impotent."

"But make no mistake, a Cannonball Jelly can raise a welt, and bring a tear to your eye."

 

Brushed up against some moon jellies yesterday. That's about it.

 

I smoked them all, I'm sorry.

 

Jellyfish shots anyone? 2 parts dark rum, 1 part moon jelly, 1 part cherry jello. Could be fun.

I got lit up by both sea lice and the big mommas today, wtf is their purpose in the animal kingdom? They're like mosquiotoes...
