A Russian woman stung by a poisonous jellyfish in Vietnam will have to have a fragment of her leg amputated.
While in the sea, a jellyfish stung the leg of a resident of Kuzbass. In a hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, the woman was given first aid. But it didn't help, and already at home the situation got worse. In a Russian clinic in Kamerovo, she was diagnosed with a chemical burn. According to the doctors, the patient will require surgery to remove areas of necrotic tissue.
"The jellyfish's tentacles contain stinging cells with poison. Upon contact, they "shoot" and inject poison, which may cause not only a local allergic reaction, but also damage to deep tissues, including necrosis - as in this case."
It is better not to travel to foreign seas during the peak of the jellyfish season, or to use protective clothing and swimming shoes.
