KUALA NERUS: The public has been warned not to touch venomous jellyfish that washed ashore at several beaches in Terengganu. As such, she said the assumption that these jellyfish are harmless once dead and washed ashore is incorrect. "The use of vinegar to alleviate the pain of a sting remains a subject of debate and is only suitable for certain species. "Fishermen or individuals engaged in angling activities must also be cautious when handling jellyfish caught in their nets," she added. Over the past few days, the presence of these venomous jellyfish has been detected once again at several popular tourist locations, including Pantai Pandak in Cendering and Pantai Paka in Dungun.
