Abroad, the Russian woman received a severe burn in the water
In a state of shock, the tourist ran ashore to rescuers, who examined the damage and immediately called the ambulance crew.
A Russian tourist from Orenburg suffered from a burn of poisonous jellyfish during a holiday in Phuket. The incident occurred on Patong Beach, where the 28-year-old tourist was vacationing with friends.
As soon as the girl entered the water, she felt a sharp pain: the jellyfish wrapped around her leg. At the same time, according to the channel, there were no warning signs about the presence of dangerous marine life on the beach, according to the Telegram channel SHOT.
In a state of shock, the tourist ran ashore to rescuers, who examined the damage and immediately called the ambulance crew. In the medical institution, the victim was administered painkillers and antihistamines. Despite the assistance provided, the leg continued to burn, and the pain began to subside only after 2 hours. Later, the Russian woman was discharged, prescribing her painkillers and burn treatment.
According to the source, we are talking about the species of jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca, which in Thailand is called fiery. Their burn can cause a pronounced allergic reaction up to anaphylactic shock and loss of consciousness, and traces of the lesion can persist for up to two weeks.
