Thousands of Bluebottle Jellyfish have been washing up on the shores of Australia forcing the closure of several beaches.
A bluebottle sting causes an immediate sharp pain and acute inflammatory skin reaction, the RACGP also said. A sting is usually treated with heat or ice packs. In some cases, a sting can cause anaphylactic shock.
Bluebottles, are not true "jellyfish." They belong to a group of organisms known as siphonophores.
Scientists believe its due to unusually warm waters.
