More than 1,000 beachgoers in Florida have been treated for jellyfish stings since Saturday, Volusia County Beach Safety officials said. Overall, 1,193 people have been treated for jellyfish stings, Tammy Malphurs, a spokeswoman for Volusia County Beach Safety, told Fox News on Wednesday. “Jellyfish are common along the coast; with them being brought ashore at different times throughout the year by the wind and ocean currents. In this case, Moon jellyfish are largely to blame for the stings. Lifeguards treated 107 people for stings on Saturday, while 523 were treated on Sunday.
