EEK - JELLYFISH!!!


162, originally uploaded by megan bauer.

Owen got stung by a jellyfish his first full day in Florida. It was quite a good sting, too. It looked like a combination of 3 different welts. And, it left a dark red squiggly line on his leg for 12 days following. The lifeguards sprayed lidocaine on it right after it happened. He's a pretty tough kiddo. He didn't even cry. But, he was scared to get back in the water. Thankfully, my mom notified him of this new research she had read (wink, wink) that said once you are stung by a jellyfish, a scent is emitted that scares away all the other jellyfish, and you won't get stung again. He bought it. Hook. Line. Sinker. Back in the ocean :)
