Use Caution
Swimming In Hull Bay and Nantasket Beach
Numerous Lion’s
Mane jellyfish have been spotted last week in Hull Bay and Nantasket Beach,
including the Weir River. The jellyfish spotted have a brownish red body with a
diameter of 4 to 12 inches, with long brownish tentacles.
Please
exercise caution when swimming or wading into the water. Also avoid contact
with any jellyfish that have washed up on the beach. A sting from this type of
jellyfish will produce soreness and possible rash on the skin that has come in
contact with the tentacles.
Should you
be stung and you feel you are in need of medical assistance, please call the
local emergency service by dialing 911.
