1 1 READING 1. Read the following text to know what to do in case you see a jellyfish and answer the following questions. What Are Jellyfish? Jellyfish live in the ocean and usually don't bother anyone. They just float around and look weird, sometimes washing up on the beach. A jellyfish jiggles like gelatin, and some just look like small, clear blobs. But others are bigger and more colorful with a bunch of tentacles that hang down underneath them, kind of like an octopus. Beware those tentacles! Jellyfish need to eat in the ocean, so their sting helps them catch other sea creatures. Unfortunately, that sting can be turned on people. Jellyfish can sting with their tentacles if they brush against you when you're swimming in the ocean. You also can get stung if you step on a jellyfish, even a dead one. Usually, jellyfish stings will hurt, but are not emergencies. Most cause pain, red marks, itching or numbness. But a few types of jellyfish (mainly found in Australia, the Philippines, the Indian Ocean, and central Pacific Ocean) are very dangerous, and can cause people to get very sick quickly. What If You Get Stung By a Jellyfish? If you get stung, take these two steps right away: 1. Get out of the water. 2. Tell an adult. See the lifeguard next, if there's one at your beach. He or she may be able to help and also can warn other swimmers. It's helpful to know what kind of jellyfish stung you. Your lifeguard might be able to tell you what type is usually at that beach.

2 1 One Jellyfish Sting = Thousands of Tiny Stingers Jellyfish stings aren't like bee stings when it comes to the stinger. A bee sting leaves behind a single stinger that you can usually see and pull out. When a jellyfish stings a person, it leaves thousands of very tiny stingers called nematocysts in the skin. These stingers can continue to release jellyfish venom (poison) into the person's body. Sometimes, they can be rinsed off with seawater. They also can be scraped off using something like a credit card, not your hand. Here's what a parent or other adult can do to help you feel better if a jellyfish stings you: Rinse the area with seawater. (Fresh water could make it worse.) Avoid rubbing the area, which also can make things worse. With some types of jellyfish stings, it may help to soak the area of skin with vinegar for 15 to 30 minutes. Use a plastic card (like a credit card) to scrape off the stingers still in your skin. If available, put shaving cream or a paste of seawater and baking soda on the area. Then scrape it off (kind of like pretend shaving). Check with your doctor. Using certain creams or pain relievers may help you feel better. 2. Answer the following questions T (true) or F (false). 1. If you step on a dead jellyfish don t worry it can t get stung. 2. A credit card can help you have less pain after a jellyfish sting. 3. Jellyfish stingers release venom into the person s body. 4. When a jellyfish stings you put fresh water on quickly. 5. If you get stung you need to stay inside the water and wait.
