Jellyfish, Philippines

Displayed:   times.

Take care if Jellyfish are in season when swimming! I ran into one about 200 yards offshore! It was kind of scary. Check with locals! Every day I would go swimming just before sunset until one day while I was on my swim I felt a sharp pain across my face onto my chest! I thought I was being attacked by a shark!! And was trying to fight the thing which only made things worse as I was churning up the water full of Jellyfish tentacles!! When I realized that it wasn't a shark I swam quickly to shore and when I made it safely to the beach I was out of breath. I didn't know if I was going to die or not!?! I didn't really know much about jellyfish ( I still don't). I knew I was in pain so I needed to get some help so I headed down the beach to Jamelas house and her mother made up some sort of medicince and applied it and after a few days the scars were gone. It was a scary situation and after that I was afraid to go deep into the water! I just swam in the shallows. I am over that fear now though.
