During the month of August 2016, two cases of
envenomation by jellyfishes were reported from
Dhanushkodi and Rameswaram. In the Dhanuskodi
incident, two fishermen were stung by jellyfish
tentacles attached to the gill net they were
operating. Initially both these fishermen felt that
the pain due to the sting would go within a few
hours. However their pain started to increase with
severe low back pain, excruciating muscle cramps
and nausea. This kind of pain development due to
jellyfish sting is characteristic of Irukandji
syndrome. Enquiries with local fishermen revealed
that a box jellyfish locally known as “ Naalu Moolai
Sori” was responsible. In the second incidence, a
fisherman working in a trawler was stung when he
handled the box jellyfish in the catch.
