Jellyfish Invade Galveston Beaches
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008
Large numbers of jellyfish have been invading Galveston waters and beaches. They like the warmer waters… especially the cabbageheads, sea nettles and the man-of-war.
On Sunday, Galveston Beach Patrol treated 100 jellyfish stings. An 11-year-old boy was even transported by ambulance to the University of Texas Medical Branch.
Pack your vinegar!

that’s a portuguese man-of-war, not a jellyfish. trust me, if you ever picked up one of these “cute inflatable beach toys” as a kid, you know what they are now!
Piss and Vinegar.
All you need now is a peanut butter fish and you’re in business.

I was at Galveston just last week, and umm, 13 years old and still couldn’t resist a poke at it. I feel really dumb. I didn’t get hurt too bad, I was fine the next day.
