A Russian woman began experiencing tissue necrosis after a jellyfish sting.
A resident of Kemerovo region returned from a vacation in Vietnam and immediately went to the hospital - while on vacation, a jellyfish stung her leg. The woman received a chemical burn; She received first aid in Ho Chi Minh City, but later the tissue began to die.
The Russian doctors decided to operate and remove the affected areas. The procedure has not yet been performed.
In contact with the skin, the tentacles of the jellyfish shoot out venom, which contains stinging cells with a toxin. Tissue necrosis is one of the consequences of touching an animal.
- What a horror.
