BLUEBOTTLES ARE NOT FUN!

This is Nobby's Beach. This is the exact beach we were at when I got stung.
When you are stung by a Bluebottle jellyfish... it hurts! I reckon it hurts more then a bee sting. I learned the hard way how much a quick touch of a tenticle really, really hurts!


This blue bottle jellyfish looks just like the one that stung me out in the water.





When you get stung it feels like you are hot and cold at the same time. I got stung on my hand, and I found that my fingers became tingly, like pins and needle feeling when your foot goes to sleep. When the poison began moving in my body I could feel it in different parts, like all of a sudden it was in my shoulder. It was a good thing the lifeguard was there to tell my dad what we needed to do to stop the poison from doing more. 
The lifeguard warned that if I became all nauseous I would have to go to the hospital because it was a sign that I would have breathing problems. The lifeguard told us to keep my hand in the bucket of really hot water to stop the poison (neutralize it). 
If we ever live closer to a beach and someone gets stung by a blue bottle then we can just use our shower instead; that's what the lifeguard said he does with his own children.
Did you know blue bottle tenticles can get more than 10 meters long
Bluebottles are also called "Portuguese Man of War".




One flies, one swims but both roll on the ground... can you guess what they are?


I want to start off by saying that I think airplanes are a great invention. I think they are a great invention because they let people go so fast in the air. It is a really fun way to travel. 









I learned about these two brothers who were the first inventors of the airplane: the Wright Brothers... thanks guys! It was because of them that the Spitfire was invented.

The Spitfire plane is one of the most famous planes in world  war 2. Also, the Spitfire had 8 machines gun! You should look this up! and the spitfire is army green and brown and one
 bulls-eye blue and red!















The Duck,while it had a pretty funny Name the Duck is not really it is not a Duck. it is a truck its name is Duck.I like to call it a Duck truck. it is a boat with six well. It has one machine gun and has two front lies. wait until I do my next post!
