Several Portuguese man o'war jellyfish have washed up onto the shore of Tramore Beach, Co. Wexford, Ireland, promoting an alert by the local council. Visitors to the beach have been told to stay away from the venomous species which can deliver excruciating stings - even when dead. Wexford Council wrote on Twitter : "We are currently dealing with several (dead) jellyfish on TRAMORE BEACH. We also advise walkers not to approach these jellyfish, as even when dead, they can give a nasty sting." She frantically left the water and tried to remove the jellyfish's tentacles from her body but ended up stinging her hands.
