Went to the beach the other day and saw a few jellyfish 🪼

Pretty sure they were all dead though. But I didn’t get close enough to touch them to find out 😆

Even dead, you will be stung if you touch them.

@DisarrayedNightshade Yes, the nematocysts, remain active for quite a long time. You were wise not to touch them.

@Ceinwyn at last!

@Ceinwyn You say that like it’s a bad thing!

Just remember never ever touch a jelly. Or even the man-o-war. All are deadly to people

@496sbc oh I know thanks 🙏

They do look dead to me. What shore was this?

@NativePortlander1970 i’ve heard about that trick. Kind of gross but hey if it works 🤷‍♀️

@DisarrayedNightshade It worked pretty fast, my oldest brother and I called him stink foot for years after that.

@DisarrayedNightshade The P thing sometimes works, with some species. The goal in that is to change the pH in the stinging cells that can’t go off.
