The highly-dangerous jellyfish species was spotted close to Lampedusa a few weeks ago and has finally reared its head close to Maltese shores.

Deidun went on to urge any bathers who get stung with warm water immersion for up to 20 minutes along with the application of vinegar and encouraged anyone who spots the jellyfish to ‘get out of the water immediately’.
