For those fortunate enough to have some disposable income earmarked for a summer getaway (yes, vacations are becoming quite the luxury these days), here’s a crucial heads-up: keep your eyes peeled!
There exists a stunning purple specimen that occasionally washes ashore on beaches, and let me tell you, it’s not something you want to handle or, for that matter, taste!
Believe it or not, there have been instances where influencers have deemed it fit to sample these venomous “adorable” entities.
As alluring and exotic as they may seem, Portuguese man-of-war pose a significant threat to human well-being.
These sea dwellers resemble captivating blue or purple-hued bubbles bobbing on the water’s surface, adorned with lengthy, dark purple tentacles trailing beneath them.
However, it’s precisely these tentacles that make encounters with Portuguese man-of-war perilous, as they’re brimming with venom and proficient at administering a painful sting.
Whether encountered in the water or on the shoreline, these creatures should be steered clear of, as they retain their sting-inducing capabilities even days after being washed ashore, regardless of their apparent state of decay.
A brush with these deceptively charming organisms can lead to a range of ailments, including cardiac distress, fever, shock, painful inflammation, allergic reactions resulting in breathing difficulties, paralysis, and in rare instances, death.
In the unfortunate event of a sting, forget about the age-old myth of urinating on the affected area! Instead, seek immediate professional medical attention.
Urinating can actually exacerbate the situation. Opt instead for a cold compress to alleviate swelling and discomfort.
We need your prayers for ‘Victor Newman’
While convalescing from knee replacement surgery, he received the heartbreaking diagnosis.
One of the most well-known actors in daytime television, Braeden, disclosed in a 13-minute Facebook Live session on Friday that he had prostate problems that later proved to be cancer. “I started having issues with my prostate while I was healing from the knee surgery,” he stated. “I apologize for being so direct, but I believe some older guys who might or might not listen to this could benefit from this. It will occur to them.
Following a successful UroLift surgery—a therapeutic option for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—doctors were able to remove the malignancy. The actor, who was born in Germany, is currently undergoing a six-week immunotherapy regimen.
He said, “I’m feeling a little under the weather, but not really much.” “I’ve learnt to not push myself too hard and to pay more attention to my body. I will understand. And I’ll soon be back to my best.
“I’m going to lick this,” Braeden said. “I’m going to get it; this bastard isn’t going to get me.”
Regarding his almost 40-year tenure on The Young and the Restless, Braeden stated it’s what keeps him going. That’s where I am at the moment, he remarked. “I enjoy entertaining people by acting. I appreciate your help. Thus, offer your support to any family member who experiences this. It might succeed. You can survive cancer these days because to the tremendous advancements in cancer treatment.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Braeden revealed that performing helps him forget about his health problems and that he feels content when he knows he entertains others.
His character was originally intended to be a guest character on the show for eight to twelve weeks, but he has developed into the main male character in the soap opera.
We hope Eric Braeden gets over his health problems and wish him all the best that life has to offer.
