Sting-Site Analysis

I will never forget the time I got stung by a wasp. In July of 2008, it was one of the scorching summer time this year for me. This summer my sister and I suppose to go swimming at a beach. Instead, we went swimming at a relative's house who had a barbecue party. When we arrived at the house I already felt excited. Henceforth, when I was swimming in the pool. I felt a needle in my neck, but I had avoided it, though. Because I had thought it was a cramp in my neck. Eventually, I felt a sting again and rip something off my neck. I started freaking out wondering what was it until I saw something glowing in the water and it was a massive wasp. Since I didn't kill the wasp I try to escape, but I couldn't. Because I felt dizzying, having trouble

There are many Cnidarians that live and thrive in our tropical waters. Although most are harmless to humans, there are some that can kill you in a matter of minutes. The Cnidarians defend themselves with their stinging cells called nematocysts. When a predator or threat comes too close and brushes against its tentacles, it injects toxins into the blood stream and often effecting the nervous system. In most cases, if a very dangerous jellyfish is spotted along a stretch of beach, the life guards will close down that beach.

Its venom destroys the walls of blood vessels near the site of the bite, sometimes causing a large skin ulcer.

If you are going scuba diving in the lake, prepare to be amazed. The lake contains a rare, non-stinging jellyfish that lives within the fresh water.

The Koster site located in Eldred, Illinois is an exceptionally unique site because of its multiple inhabitants over nine-thousand years during the archaic period. Each layer of the Koster site reveals a story of the people living there, and gives a visual into what people living there did, what they ate, and how they lived day to day life as ancient Native Americans (Indiana University of Penn 2015). The Koster site is just one of the many archaeological sites in North America, which seems to be consistent with other ancient peoples living during this archaic time period.

The southern blue-ringed octopus is only the size of a golf ball or smaller and weighs only about 38 grams. Their arms can grow to be about 15 cm long. Thousands of people suffer the bites from the southern blue-ringed octopus. Sadly some of these bites can mean death for some people. Most bites happen in the shallow parts of the ocean. The people that are most likely to get bit are young adults and children. If you see someone get bit you need to call 911 immediately so that they have a better chance of living. Some symptoms are vomiting, changes in you vison, and difficulty swallowing. After five to ten minutes you may have a hard time breathing and you can become paralyzed. If you get a bunch of poison and didn’t know that you got bit, you could die. Most people that have gotten bit say that it does not hurt at all. So if you want to go swimming in the shallow parts of the ocean make sure you shuffle your feet so that way you don’t step on

However, if theey nests are disturbed, they tend to attack the intruder in swarms. Its worth noting however, that while their stings are painful, yet not lethal, certain inviduals may experience a lethal allergic reacton, known as anaphylactic shock.

While they do posses stings they generally do not attack aggressively and if threatened, their primary reaction is to swim away. However, a defensive reaction causes it to whip up their stinger which is often the case when attacked by predators or stepped on.

In addition, if you've had a bad allergic reaction to a sting in the past, you should consider wearing a medical alert tag that lets first responders know about your condition.
