The Drishti lifesaving have alerted the tourism department in this connection. r“Marine animals, jellyfish are of two kinds “ toxic and non-toxic. While most jellyfish stings are harmless to humans and cause only a mild irritation, species like Bluebottle are venomous and can cause harm on contact. Even a dead Bluebottle washed up on shore can deliver a sting,” states the press note. rThe Drishti Lifesaving, the state-appointed professional lifeguard agency, has advised the locals and tourists not to venture into the sea along the Candolim and Sinquerim stretch as the Bluebottle could possibly be present in the waters or along the shoreline. r“Even wading into the waters is not advisable during the monsoon months as the sea and weather conditions are not favourable for swimming,” added the press note.
