more-inPanaji: Drishti Marine, Goa tourism’s contractors, on Saturday cautioned tourists to remain alert while visiting Baina-Betalbatim-Velsao beach where their lifeguards on Friday spotted jellyfish having washed ashore. This is the second time in recent months that such an advisory has been issued. While most jellyfish stings are harmless and cause only a mild irritation, in very rare cases, the species are venomous. “Wash the stung area with hot water as heat breaks down the toxins. In case of chest pain and breathing difficulty, visit the doctor immediately,” the advisory said.
