A sting by the Portuguese man o’ war, a jellyfish-like creature, can cause severe pain and cramps lasting for three minutes.
Terengganu Fisheries Department director Zawawi Ali said the three beaches were Batu Buruk Beach, Kuala Terengganu, Rhu 10 Beach here and Bukit Keluang Beach in Besut. ‘’This is because there is still no anti-venom for the jellyfish sting except painkiller. According to scientists, the immediate effect of a sting is of cramps for three minutes which gives excruciating pain,’’ he told reporters here today.
