    folks, are ye seeing many Jellyfish around?

    Seems to be a few on the Rush South beach, though they are just the Common type (one's with the 4 blue rings in the dome)

    Got a couple of stings over the weekend, not painful but very itchy (anti-hists helped)

    Seen a few just now also, mentioned it to a mother who had a few young kids in the water with her

    Loads of compass jellyfish in Enniscrone at the minute, and all floating at the surface because it’s been so calm so far this week.


    Whats the general approach with this amount of them? Do people just swim on and if you hit one that’s life, or do you try to avoid them? I’m in a wetsuit (no gloves or boots) and feel like I’m burning more energy looking out for them and trying to avoid them than I’m actually putting into swimming, but some hardy bucks head out in skins and seem to pay no heed to them.
