Question I am Answering: Why Does Jellyfish Sting?
Let's get straight into action! Jellyfish can sting by a sensor, just by a touch it will shoot out a harpoon
and some can even have poison on the tip like an arrow.
Jellyfish can sting at any time, because when you touch them they can’t control their sting. When
they sting they can really feel like someone punched you or even getting and electric shock. When a
jellyfish stings it’s stinging thread goes into the skin. If it has venom it will go into the skin it will slowly
to start affect our blood cells.
Jellyfish sting by having a harpoon with poison. When you touch their tentacles there harpoon shoots
out before you can even move out the way! A tentacle does not have to be attached to sting you
when your out on the beach. When you are stung by one and a piece a tentacle is on your clothes
make sure you take it off with a glove or fork.
Jellyfish are carnivores, they eat meat such as zooplankton and crustaceans. Jellyfish paralyses its
prey to defend itself or to eat its prey. If you touch the top of the jellyfish ( its cap ) it does not sting
you. It’s tentacles are the only part that can sting you.
When you get stung put vinegar on it or cold ice, whatever you do DON’T PEE ON IT, it will make it
worse. So now you know about some facts why and how jellyfish sting now you can be more safe when your out on a beach.
