Massive Lion's Mane Jellyfish Alert | Orlando News
Description
Massive lion’s mane jellyfish, some foot-wide with 120-foot tentacles, are washing ashore from Maine to Cape Cod—packing dangerous neurotoxins that can cause rashes, breathing issues, and even be fatal in rare cases. Their tentacles can still sting for up to 25 days after death. Social media is buzzing with horror stories, prompting state alerts. If stung: remove tentacles with tweezers, soak in hot water (110–113°F) for 20–45 minutes, then apply hydrocortisone. Stay alert, don’t touch them, and heed local beach warnings.
