flag Dozens stung by invisible jellyfish at New Zealand’s Uretiti Beach due to warm, calm waters.

flag Dozens of swimmers at Uretiti Beach in New Zealand have been stung by tiny, nearly invisible jellyfish called hydromedusae, which thrive in warm, calm waters with sea temperatures reaching 22.44°C. flag The microscopic creatures, undetectable to the naked eye, cause painful rashes and intense itching, often appearing hours after swimming. flag Stings occur when jellyfish trapped in swimwear or body hair react to pressure, friction, or a shift from salt to fresh water. flag Residents report the outbreak is unusually widespread, with some children experiencing severe reactions. flag Health officials advise removing wet swimwear immediately, rinsing it with fresh water and soap, and using antihistamines or calamine lotion for relief.
