💨 Abstract

Authorities in Wales have warned beachgoers after Portuguese Man O’ War—often mistaken for jellyfish—washed up on Aberavon Beach. Their stings can cause severe pain, blisters, and even life-threatening reactions. Dead tentacles remain dangerous. Visitors are advised to avoid contact, rinse stings with seawater, remove tentacles carefully, and immerse the area in hot water for 30 minutes.
