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".
