I am sorry to hear the the jellyfish plague is continuing to develop. I
have just returned from Salobrena where we were affected on Monday 6th
August. I was stung whilst snorkelling before any warnings went out. A
nasty irritaing sting it was too! 3 of them actually, chest, shoulder and
ankle. For a day or two after the ankle was afected whenever the sun got to
the sting. I watched the two guys in their boat trying to clear the beach.
It seemed a bit of a futile exercise, there were so many. I'm lucky it only
affected my last two days otherwise it would have spoilt what was a lovely
holiday in a beautiful area.
