Have you stung by a seawasp?
On June 13, 2025, at around 7:20 in the evening, my cousin, nephews and nieces came for a night swim so I joined with them. Guess what? The rain poured, sea fleas biting us, and the worst is -- I was stung by a seawasp on my left arm for the very first time in my life. Glad we have available brown sugar and coconuts as a natural remedy when stung by this venomous sea creature or I must be in the funeral by now. LOL 
LESSON LEARNED: Avoid swimming during monsoon season in the Philippines or from June up to November.

No, never. The nearest beach is around 400 kms from my place. I can't go there often. And I don't know how to swim.

I've only been to the ocean one time and didn't swim in it then... The water was way too cold for me to swim.
I'm sorry you got stung and hope it's all healed and feeling better now.

Getting stung by a seawasp is no joke, especially since their venom can be so dangerous. I’m really glad you were okay and had a natural remedy on hand right away.
