Especially in summer, the animals populate the entire Florida coast. Then, the chances of getting stung are high.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yet how <strong>dangerous<\/strong> are jellyfish really? How can you prevent <strong>painful encounters,<\/strong> and what should you do in case of an emergency? We will give you the answers in this article, while also revealing more about the most common jellyfish species in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8220;.vc_custom_1593115667056{background-color: #f7f8f9 !important;}&#8220;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Jellyfish \u2013 important Facts<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite their rather simple design, jellyfish form an extremely diverse group of marine animals. Here are the most important facts about jellyfish:<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Evolution<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jellyfish are among the oldest animal species and have been populating our planet for <strong>600 million years<\/strong>. During this time, their physique has hardly changed, as fossils show. The animals have conquered <strong>a wide range of habitats:<\/strong> from cold oceans such as the North Sea to tropical waters. While most species swim near the surface, jellyfish are also found in the deep sea.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Characteristics and Size<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jellyfish are invertebrates. Their bodies consist of a <strong>gelatinous umbrella<\/strong> with an opening for feeding and excretion on the bottom. Depending on the species, short or long <strong>tentacles<\/strong> extend from the body. These are equipped with <strong>nettle cells<\/strong> that deliver venomous stings when touched.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>size<\/strong> of jellyfish ranges from less than finger-sized species to the Japanese Nomura\u00b4s jellyfish: true giants that can grow up to 6.5 ft in diameter and weigh 440 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Behavior and Diet<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jellyfish move through the water by contracting and expanding their umbrella muscles. This method of transportation relies on the <strong>recoil principle<\/strong> and is extremely energy-efficient. However, it is also slow, and jellyfish are exposed to the ocean currents. In coastal waters, the animals often wash up on beaches. Some species, such as the Portuguese man-o\u00b4-war, do not move actively, but use their gelatinous sails to float on the ocean surface.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In any case, their behavior makes fast movements superfluous, as most jellyfish catch prey with their <strong>tentacles.<\/strong> These are almost invisible, can be several feet long and feature venomous stinging cells. Depending on the species, jellyfish feed on plankton, fish, eggs, crabs or other jellyfish.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Reproduction<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jellyfish not only have a highly complex life cycle. The animals can also reproduce both <strong>sexually and asexually<\/strong>. Free-swimming female jellyfish produce eggs that are fertilized by the males \u2013 usually without physical contact. Emerging from the eggs are <strong>polyps<\/strong> that anchor themselves firmly to the seabed or rocks. Once the polyps have reached a certain size, they emit small jellyfish without the help of a sexual partner. Thus, the reproductive cycle begins again.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Distribution in Florida<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jellyfish are found in <strong>all coastal waters of Florida.<\/strong> Particularly affected, however, are the Atlantic coast and the northwestern Gulf Coast, also known as the Florida Panhandle. In the warm waters around the Florida Keys, the animals are also native. Slightly fewer jellyfish populate the southern Gulf Coast from Tampa to Marco Island.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Jellyfish Season in Florida<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jellyfish can be found off the coast of Florida all year round. However, there are times when the animals appear more frequently. Jellyfish Season usually lasts from <strong>May to October<\/strong>, and peaks in August or September.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recently, marine biologists have registered an <strong>increase in the jellyfish population.<\/strong> With warmer seawater, the number of microorganisms such as plankton increases, and with it the food for jellyfish. This could lead to the Jellyfish Season starting earlier in the future.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Jellyfish in Florida \u2013 common Species<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jellyfish are found in <strong>all coastal waters of Florida.<\/strong> Particularly affected, however, are the Atlantic coast and the northwestern Gulf Coast, also known as the Florida Panhandle. In the warm waters around the Florida Keys, the animals are also native. Slightly fewer jellyfish populate the southern Gulf Coast from Tampa to Marco Island.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Moon jellyfish (aurelia aurita)<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This jellyfish species lives in all oceans \u2013 preferably near the coast, where there are moderate currents. Its flat <strong>8\u201312\u201d umbrella<\/strong> is slightly curved and has a white to yellowish coloration. Moon jellyfish mainly feed on plankton. They only have short tentacles, are non-venomous and <strong>do not pose a threat<\/strong> to humans.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Cannonball jellyfish (stomolophus meleagris)<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This <strong>dome-shaped jellyfish<\/strong> with light brown or bluish coloration can grow up to 10\u201d and does not have long tentacles. Nevertheless, its body is covered in sting cells, which is why you should<strong> never touch<\/strong> dead specimens. On contact, the sting cells cause a <strong>burning pain and redness of the skin<\/strong>. They can also lead to the so-called Irukandji syndrome, which manifests itself in the following symptoms:<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Severe pain in the back, abdomen and extremities<\/li>\n<li>Nausea and vomiting<\/li>\n<li>Perceptual disorders and feelings of anxiety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the worst case, death from <strong>pulmonary edema or cerebral hemorrhages<\/strong> can occur.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Atlantic sea nettle (chrysaora quinquecirrha)<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sea nettles can be easily identified by their 10\u201316\u201d umbrellas with <strong>brown stripes.<\/strong> They populate the tropical and subtropical waters of the Atlantic, where they hunt small animals and other jellyfish with their venomous sting cells. Upon contact, these stingers cause a <strong>painful rash<\/strong> that usually lasts for 20 minutes. Deaths, however, are extremely rare.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Box jellyfish (chiropsalmus quadrumanus)<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This jellyfish has an <strong>umbrella<\/strong> that measures up to <strong>12\u201d in size<\/strong>, is almost transparent and <strong>box-shaped<\/strong> \u2013 hence the name. Extending from the body are up to 13 ft long tentacles, with which the jellyfish kills its prey. The animals are difficult to spot due to their camouflage. Fortunately, the species found in Florida is less venomous than its Australian relatives. The bad news: Getting stung still causes <strong>severe pain<\/strong> and can lead to cardiac arrhythmias as well as respiratory problems.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Portuguese man-o\u00b4-war (physalia physalis)<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Strictly speaking, this bizarre-looking animal is not a jellyfish, but consists of several symbiotic organisms. A most striking feature is the <strong>gelatinous, blue sail<\/strong> used for moving on the ocean surface. Underneath, up to 33 ft long tentacles extend from the body. These tentacles cause <strong>severe pain<\/strong> when touched. However, deaths are rare in healthy adults.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Portuguese man-o\u00b4-war is mostly found in calm, warm waters \u2013 around the Florida Keys, for example. Especially in the <strong>winter months<\/strong>, you should exercise caution there, and do not go swimming near blue, gelatinous bodies in the water.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>By-the-wind-sailor (velella velella)<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jellyfish are found in <strong>all coastal waters of Florida.<\/strong> Particularly affected, however, are the Atlantic coast and the northwestern Gulf Coast, also known as the Florida Panhandle. In the warm waters around the Florida Keys, the animals are also native. Slightly fewer jellyfish populate the southern Gulf Coast from Tampa to Marco Island.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8220;.vc_custom_1593115667056{background-color: #f7f8f9 !important;}&#8220;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Jellyfish in Florida \u2013 Tips and Precautions<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Encounters with jellyfish can be extremely painful and, for certain people, even fatal. In order to avoid this experience, you should heed the following tips and precautions:<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pay attention to the official warnings. If there are signs on a beach that warn of jellyfish, you should be careful in the water. This is especially true for remote beaches without lifeguards.<\/li>\n<li>On guarded beaches, you should pay attention to the purple flag, which signals dangerous animals in the water.<\/li>\n<li>Stranded jellyfish are a sure sign that there are more specimens in the water. Especially when the wind blows inland, the animals are often driven into shallow areas.<\/li>\n<li>The stinging cells of jellyfish can remain active long after the animal&#8217;s death. This is why you should never touch them with your bare hands.<\/li>\n<li>Important for divers: Do not touch your face with diving gloves after stepping back on land. Otherwise, sting cells remaining on the glove could get in contact with your skin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Jellyfish Stings \u2013 Symptoms and Treatment<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Getting stung by poisonous jellyfish can be very painful. Victims compare the feeling to a continuous line of bee stings. After a few hours, the pain usually subsides, and a strong itching sensation remains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To alleviate the symptoms, you should take the following measures:<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wash the wound with<strong> salt water<\/strong> \u2013 but not with fresh water, as this can prompt remaining sting cells to release more venom.<\/li>\n<li>Treating jellyfish stings with <strong>urine<\/strong> is a widespread but unfounded myth. Instead, experts recommend mild acids such as <strong>vinegar<\/strong> in combination with warm water.<\/li>\n<li>Afterwards, remove the visible sting cells with <strong>tweezers.<\/strong> You can also take a flat item (e. g. credit card) to carefully scrape off the skin.<\/li>\n<li>To alleviate the <strong>itching,<\/strong> you can apply common insect bite remedies such as benadryl or cortisone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>How to deal with severe Jellyfish Sting<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The symptoms of a jellyfish sting can also be more severe: for example, if<strong> large areas of the body<\/strong> are affected. Then, the unbearable pain could impair your ability to swim. You must get out of the water immediately or reach out to other people for help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Follow this rule of thumb: If the combined streaks caused by the jellyfish are longer than 19 ft (6.5\u201313 ft for children), these <strong>life-threatening symptoms<\/strong> may occur:<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nausea and vomiting<\/li>\n<li>Breathing difficulties<\/li>\n<li>Shock<\/li>\n<li>Cardiovascular problems<\/li>\n<li>Heart failure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The person must be taken to the hospital immediately.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8220;.vc_custom_1593115667056{background-color: #f7f8f9 !important;}&#8220;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Watching luminous Jellyfish in Florida<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Encounters with jellyfish are mostly involuntary and painful. However, some tourists travel to Florida to see a particular kind: the <strong>rib jellyfish.<\/strong> This species has no poisonous sting cells. Instead, it scares off predators with the help of bioluminescence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the winter months, you can see this <strong>spectacular lightshow<\/strong> in the Indian River Lagoon near Orlando. There, rib jellyfish populate a mangrove lagoon, and guided kayak tours are offered. With a bit of luck, you can also see the jellyfish while wading in shallow water \u2013 e. g. at Kelly Park East, Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ \u2013 Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_toggle title=&#8220;When is Jellyfish Season in Florida?&#8220;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jellyfish find a lot of food in warm sea water. This is why the summer months are the main season for these animals. Since most tourists also travel to Florida\u00b4s beaches in the summer, many accidents occur during this time.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8220;Can you touch moon jellyfish?&#8220;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Feeding on plankton, this 8\u201312\u201d, white-yellowish species does not feature long tentacles. Their sting cells are not large enough to pierce human skin. Therefore, you can touch moon jellyfish with no problem.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8220;Are there Portuguese man-o\u00b4-war in Florida?&#8220;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes. These jellyfish relatives with the striking blue sail live off Florida\u00b4s coast. Sometimes, they are also washed up on beaches. Since the sting cells of the Portuguese man-o\u00b4-war remain active long after death, you should never touch these animals.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=&#8220;Are jellyfish in Florida dangerous?&#8220;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The stings of venomous species can be extremely painful. However, for healthy adults, they are rarely deadly unless large areas of the body are affected.
