TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Dangers in the ocean: the traveler and marine envenomation. I. jellyfish JO - Journal of travel medicine A1 - Fenner, Peter J. SP - 135 EP - 141 VL - 5 IS - 3 N2 - Envenomation by marine creatures is more common than is often realized, and regularly accounts for both death and severe morbidity in humans. Worldwide marine envenomation morbidity and mortality result from two main animal groups: (1) jellyfish, and (2) "other" marine animals. Venomous jellyfish are discussed in part I of this article, with relevant information on their distribution and appearance, and on symptoms of envenomation; first aid and medical treatment are also suggested.
