Swarms of jellyfish stung nearly 300 swimmers looking to cool off from a heat wave, Brazilian media reported Sunday. At least 15 people including children and teenagers were treated in Praia Grande for severe stings, doctor Adriano Bechara told the Tribuna newspaper, though their lives were not in danger. Officials said the jellyfish were Portuguese man-of-war, which have long tentacles but are not too dangerous unless the victim has an allergic reaction.
