Neil Agius Suffers Worst Jellyfish Sting, Suspects Box Jellyfish

Aug 30 2024 Share

“Neil Agius, an ex-Olympian and current world record holder for the longest unassisted ocean swim, was stung by a jellyfish, which he described as ‘one of the worst stings to date,’ during his longest training session, a 24-hour swim.

Agius revealed the sting in a video he posted, showing how the jellyfish’s tentacle had wrapped around his body, leaving marks across his abdomen, back, and arm.

The swimmer suspects the culprit to be a box jellyfish, recently spotted in Birżebbuġa, which may have been swept to the east side of Gozo by the currents.”
