JELLY FISH WARNING ISSUED FOR SAN ONOFRE
SAN ONOFRE (AP) -State lifeguards are issuing a jellyfish advisory for Thursday and Friday. Officials recommend those allergic to the creatures and those who don't want to be stung to stay out of the water. The most commonly affected areas are expected to be Old mans and The Point areas of Surf Beach . Sting symptoms include stinging, burning, redness, swelling of lymph nodes. In cases of severe reactions, victims may have difficulty breathing and show signs of shock and cardiac arrest. The State Lifeguards advise those who are stung to flush the stung area out with lots of white vinegar and urine. Anyone having difficulty breathing, muscle cramps and spasms, or persistent pain should seek immediate medical attention. The jellyfish influx is expected to worsen on Saturday
