Remember When This Jellyfish Stung 150 People on This NH Beach?

Before we get into beach weather here in New Hampshire, we should probably be reminded of all those things to be mindful to avoid, like Giant Jellyfish?

It was back in 2010 when authorities extracted a giant jellyfish out of the waters off of Wallis Sands in Rye, New Hampshire. The belly of the beast weighed around 50 pounds, so it was enormous.

The tentacles became detached as the authorities used a pitchfork to get rid of the body of the animal, according to fosters.com.

Tentacles from Jellyfish can sting, even when they are dead for 2-3 days after the animal has died.

About 150 people were stung by the dead jellyfish tentacles, think of it as their last hoorah, even though it was long passed.

Kids who were stung had to be hospitalized.

Live Jellyfish are Beautiful

This giant jellyfish was red and tannish in color. It looked like something out of a horror show, according to Fosters. The body of the beast was placed into a bag and looked disgusting.

Picture cherry flavored jello that hasn't really set yet, with some yellow mixed in with some leftover brown gravy in a trash bag. It kind of looking like a big, gross, slimy brain. That's what it looked like.

New England Aquarium Has Beautiful Jellyfish

Recently, I went to the New England aquarium where they had many, many jellyfish in a huge tank. Actually, if something lived in the ocean, their species is also at the New England Aquarium. They are world renowned.

When you see these creatures up close, they are absolutely breathtaking, graceful beings of the sea.

Giant Jellyfish dead on Wallis Sands in Rye, New Hampshire, however, not so much.
