Cornish beaches awash with poisonous Portuguese man o’war
Hundreds of venomous Portuguese man o' war have washed up on beaches across Cornwall, with people warned to steer clear of the dangerous creatures.
Sightings of the “floating terror”, as the animals are sometimes called due to their painful sting, were recorded mainly on the south coast, including on shores near Falmouth, Porthleven, and St Ives.
The animal’s sting is powerful and can send a victim into anaphylactic shock, with children being particularly vulnerable. Although commonly mistaken for jellyfish, the creatures are actually a colony of organisms working together to function like an individual animal.
