Love that feeling of the sand between your toes?

Being bare foot on Scotland’s beaches and shores can be enjoyable in the milder weather, but it can also increase the risk of being stung by wildlife like jellyfish, sea urchins, or weever fish.

If you’re stung, you should:

✅Rinse the affected area with sea water (not fresh water).
✅Remove any spines or stings with tweezers – do not use your bare hands.
✅Soak the site in warm water (as warm as you can tolerate).
✅Take painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen to manage pain.

Most stings from sea creatures in Scotland are mild and can be safely self-managed, but you should phone 111 if you have:
🔹severe pain that’s not going away
🔹been stung on your face or ge****ls (OUCH! 😵)
🔹been stung by a stingray

If you have been stung and have:
🔹difficulty breathing
🔹chest pain
🔹fits or seizures
🔹severe swelling around the affected area
🔹 severe bleeding
🔹vomiting
🔹light-headedness or loss of consciousness
Always phone 999 or attend A&E as soon as possible.
