Mahon, A., & Mallinson, T. E. (2020). Lion’s mane jellyfish sting. International Paramedic Practice, 10(2), 46–48.
ABSTRACT:
The authors present the case of an Irukandji-like syndrome resulting from cnidarian envenomation, following multiple stings from the lion’s mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) encountered by a sea swimmer in the coastal waters of the UK. This case presents the initial features of Irukandji-like syndrome in this 45-year-old female, her management in the emergency department and subsequent discharge. Envenomation from the lion’s mane species and the Irukandji syndrome are briefly discussed.
