[Regnum] The beaches of New England (states in the northeastern United States) have been overrun by giant, venomous "lion's mane" jellyfish, whose tentacles can extend more than 30 meters and cause pain even 25 days after the jellyfish's death. This was reported by the New York Post.
Massachusetts hospitals have been placed on high alert, and residents have been urged to keep children and animals away from jellyfish washed up on the beach and to avoid touching even those jellyfish that appear dead, including their tentacles, the authors noted.
The cluster of giant jellyfish that formed off the coast is the largest since 2020, according to a report. There are casualties in several regions of the northeastern United States. The tentacles of this species of jellyfish contain large amounts of neurotoxins, which, when they come into contact with the skin, cause severe pain, swelling, and itching, as well as seizures, headaches, and nausea.
