Over the last several years the Florida Keys have been seeing larger blooms and for longer periods of time. Here we get Moon Jellyfish and Purtuguese Man-O-Wars. The Moon Jelly is not a problem if stung only once or twice, just irritating.
The Man-O-War, however, is extremely painful, and can shut down your respiratory system. I have seen the results and it looks like burn marks created by live electrical wires.
I was talking to a man who work at the Nuclear Plant in nearby Homestead and said that every year they struggle with keeping the water intake pipes clear of jellyfish.
