But just like with any other activities, accidents can happen. This topic gives an overview of jellyfish and Portuguese man-of-war stings, seabather's eruption, and coral scrapes.</p><h3 class="HwSubSectionTitle" fingerprint="43d5069a" fingerprint-exact="d7f11b86">Stings</h3><p fingerprint="8866c1c0" fingerprint-exact="141224ed">Jellyfish and Portuguese man-of-wars can be found all over the world. They cause injury and illness through the release of venom when they come in contact with skin (stinging). While the sting of a jellyfish or Portuguese man-of-war can cause severe illness and extreme pain, deaths are rare. </p><p fingerprint="fe45b8b4" fingerprint-exact="ea71ccce">Jellyfish are often found in coastal waters. It's often hard to see jellyfish swimming in the water. Beached jellyfish, which may look like a clear plastic wrapper, can sting if touched. </p><p fingerprint="56cc60bc" fingerprint-exact="d1f97350"><b>Jellyfish stings</b> cause intense pain and burning right away. The pain can last for several hours. Raised, red welts form along the site of the sting. The welts may last for 1 to 2 weeks, and itchy skin rashes may appear 1 to 4 weeks after the sting. </p><p fingerprint="7246f300" fingerprint-exact="f8fc59a1"><b>Seabather's eruption</b> is a rash from the stings of jellyfish or sea anemone larvae. The rash can be quite itchy and annoying. But it usually goes away without medical treatment in 10 to 14 days. </p><p fingerprint="79a16e04" fingerprint-exact="12fccae7"><b>Portuguese man-of-wars</b> live in warm seas throughout the world. They float on the surface of the water with their long, stinging tentacles trailing in the water below. Detached tentacles that wash up on the beach may remain dangerous for months. </p><p fingerprint="0445154f" fingerprint-exact="f2491794">Portuguese man-of-war stings produce immediate burning pain and redness where the tentacles touched the skin. The affected area develops a red line with small white lesions. In severe cases, blisters and welts that look like a string of beads may appear. Stings that involve the eye may cause pain, swelling, excessive tears, blurred vision, or increased sensitivity to light. Severe reactions are most likely to occur in children and small adults. Severe toxic reactions to the venom can also occur. </p><p fingerprint="5aa3bbf8" fingerprint-exact="9e05ee9a"><b>Stingrays</b> have sharp spines in their tails that can cause cuts or puncture wounds. The spines also have venom. Stingrays don't bite, but they can suck with their mouths and leave a bruise.</p><h3 class="HwSubSectionTitle" fingerprint="6925de31" fingerprint-exact="0fca2c60">Coral scrapes</h3><p fingerprint="70d537ed" fingerprint-exact="fd9ad51d">Coral scrapes and cuts are common injuries that may occur when you walk on a beach or swim, snorkel, or dive in warm water. You may get a <span>skin infection</span> if small pieces of coral, other debris, and bacteria get inside the wound. Scrapes and cuts from sharp-edged coral may take weeks or even months to heal.</p></div><div class="HwNavigationSection HwSectionCYS" id="sec-jelly-cys"><h2 class="HwSectionTitle" fingerprint="1bc87b1b" fingerprint-exact="d719d6f6">Check Your Symptoms</h2><div><div class="HwAsset" hw:assetid="jelly"> <div id="HwSxBody" data-hw-version="4.0.3.2"><div class="HwSxQuestion HwSxTrunkQuestion HwSxTopicConfirmationQuestion" id="HwSxQuestion1505" data-hw-entity-key="1505" data-hw-type="HwSxQuestion"><div class="HwSxQuestionText">Did you get a sting or scrape while swimming in the ocean or walking on the beach?</div><div class="HwSxQuestionSubText">This could include a sting from a marine creature, such as a jellyfish or Portuguese man-of-war, or a coral scrape.</div><div class="HwSxAnswerSet"><div class="HwSxAnswer" id="HwSxAnswer3172" data-hw-type="HwSxAnswer"><div class="HwSxConfirmation HwSxAnswerText HwSxEntity" data-hw-entity-key="3172" data-hw-parent-entity-key="1505">Yes</div><div class="HwSxAnswerSummary">Marine sting or scrape</div></div><div class="HwSxAnswer" id="HwSxAnswer3173" data-hw-type="HwSxAnswer"><div class="HwSxAnswerText HwSxEntity" data-hw-entity-key="3173" data-hw-parent-entity-key="1505">No</div><div class="HwSxAnswerSummary">Marine sting or scrape</div></div></div></div><div class="HwSxQuestion HwSxAge" id="HwSxQuestion31" data-hw-entity-key="31" data-hw-type="HwSxQuestion"><div class="HwSxQuestionText">How old are you?</div><div class="HwSxAnswerSet"><div class="HwSxAnswer HwSxAgeResponse" id="HwSxAnswer72" data-hw-type="HwSxDemographicsAnswer" data-hw-age-range="143"><div class="HwSxConfirmation HwSxAnswerText HwSxEntity" data-hw-entity-key="72" data-hw-parent-entity-key="31">Less than 12 years</div><div class="HwSxAnswerSummary">Less than 12 years</div></div><div class="HwSxAnswer HwSxAgeResponse" id="HwSxAnswer73" data-hw-type="HwSxDemographicsAnswer"><div class="HwSxConfirmation HwSxAnswerText HwSxEntity" data-hw-entity-key="73" data-hw-parent-entity-key="31">12 years or older</div><div class="HwSxAnswerSummary">12 years or older</div></div></div></div><div class="HwSxQuestion HwSxNonTopic" id="HwSxQuestion30" data-hw-entity-key="30" data-hw-type="HwSxQuestion"><div class="HwSxQuestionText">Are you male or female?</div><div class="HwSxAnswerSet"><div class="HwSxAnswer HwSxGenderResponse" id="HwSxAnswer71" data-hw-type="HwSxDemographicsAnswer"><div class="HwSxConfirmation HwSxAnswerText HwSxEntity" data-hw-entity-key="71" data-hw-parent-entity-key="30">Male</div><div class="HwSxAnswerSummary">Male</div></div><div class="HwSxAnswer HwSxGenderResponse" id="HwSxAnswer70" data-hw-type="HwSxDemographicsAnswer"><div class="HwSxConfirmation HwSxAnswerText HwSxEntity" data-hw-entity-key="70" data-hw-parent-entity-key="30">Female</div><div class="HwSxAnswerSummary">Female</div></div></div><div id="SxWhyAskDiv"><button id="SxWhyAskAccordianBtn" tabindex="0" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="SxWhyAskBodyDiv" type="button" aria-live="assertive"><div class="SxWhyAskAccordion">Why do we ask this question?</div><div class="SxWhyAskAccordion SxWhyAskAccordionArrow_Down" id="SxWhyAskAccordionArrow"> </div></button><div id="SxWhyAskBodyDiv" role="tabpanel"><div class="SxWhyAskParaChild" id="SxWhyAskHeaderDiv" tabindex="-1"><h4>The medical assessment of symptoms is based on the body parts you have.</h4></div><div class="SxWhyAskParaChild" id="SxWhyAskParaDiv" tabindex="-1"><ul><li>If you are transgender or nonbinary, choose the sex that matches the body parts (such as ovaries, testes, prostate, breasts, penis, or vagina) you <b>now</b> have in the area where you are having symptoms.</li><li>If your symptoms aren’t related to those organs, you can choose the gender you identify with.</li><li>If you have some organs of both sexes, you may need to go through this triage tool twice (once as "male" and once as "female").
