Poor Ross! Jellyfish sting!

My seven year old great grandson, Ross John Newberry, was having a good time in the Gulf of Mexico with ten members of his family. Along came a jellyfish. The moon jellyfish is common in the upper Gulf of Mexico. It is not really a fish. Aquariums are calling them "jellies".


This jelly stung Ross on the belly.


Ouch! I hope the vinegar made it feel better,  This is how Ross's belly usually looks.

  2. It got Ross good. I had no idea how badly they could hurt you. Luckily the people in the beach house next door knew to pour vinegar on it. He had welts on his belly and arm. Every day it looks better but he still has a reddish/purple rash.
